I think that i just read the mail, i don't get it on my computer (see muttrc below). Correct me if i'm wrong, but to get my mail i must use something like procmail, which means i must configure a procmailrc. Supposing that i already configured my .procmailrc(actually i haven't but from reading the documentation seems it's not very difficult), what additions/changes i must make to my muttrc? I'm gonna paste my muttrc to help you help me: # A basic .muttrc for use with Gmail set imap_user = "m...@gmail.com" set imap_pass = "password" set smtp_url = "smtp://m...@gmail.com@smtp.gmail.com:587/" set smtp_pass = "password" set from = "m...@gmail.com" set realname = "lambda" # Change the following line to a different editor you prefer. set editor = "vim" # Basic config set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com:993" set spoolfile = "+INBOX" set imap_check_subscribed set hostname = gmail.com set mail_check = 120 set timeout = 300 set imap_keepalive = 300 set postponed = "+[Gmail]/Drafts" set record = "+[Gmail]/Sent Mail" set header_cache=~/.mutt/cache/headers set message_cachedir=~/.mutt/cache/bodies set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates set move = no set include set sort = threads set auto_tag = yes hdr_order Date From To Cc auto_view text/html bind editor <Tab> complete-query bind editor ^T complete bind editor <space> noop set charset = "utf8" set signature="~/.signature" set ascii_chars # splitting set pager_index_lines=7 # subscribe to mailing lists subscribe m...@openbsd.org mutt-users@mutt.org > > The choice of which directory(mailing list) to read, whould be made > > with the -f option. > > Why? You can you use "c" to change mailboxes from within mutt itself. True. Much easier that way.
