Hi, I am looking for the terminal-based MUA which would be able to work with my email needs. However, for various reasons I really need all my emails stay on multiple IMAP accounts (no local emails if possible). I have started with mutt as it is the client I know best, but I am not married to it, if you know about anything better (Alpine?, notmuch?, anything else) which could help me, then I am all ears.
account-hook .*localhost 'set imap_user=matej imap_pass=secret1 \ from="Matěj Cepl <ma...@ceplovi.cz>" folder=imap://localhost.localdomain \ trash=+Trash postponed=+Drafts' # account-hook mcepl 'set imap_user=mc...@cepl.eu imap_pass="secret2" \ # from="Matěj Cepl <mc...@cepl.eu>" \ # folder=imaps://redcrew.org trash=+Trash postponed=+Drafts' account-hook .*redcrew.org 'set imap_user="ma...@ceplovi.cz" \ imap_pass= "secret3" \ from="Matěj Cepl <ma...@ceplovi.cz>" \ folder=imaps://redcrew.org trash=+Trash postponed=+Drafts' account-hook .*suse.de 'set imap_user=mcepl@Thunderbird \ imap_pass= "secret4" \ postponed=+INBOX/Drafts from="Matěj Cepl <mc...@suse.cz>" \ trash=+INBOX/Trash' The problem is obviously mc...@cepl.eu account. * Is it possible to have two account hooks directed against one IMAP server? * What EXACTLY are possible values of the first parameter of account-hook. Does it have to be domain name of the server, or could it be some random string (as shown here in the commented out account-hook)? * Is there some patch somewhere, which would support some more grown-up version of the accounts settings? I would like to have something like account work { \ imap_server = imap.suse.de \ imap_user = mcepl@Thunderbird \ imap_pass = secret4 \ ... { any other mutt settings } } account floss { \ imap_server = redcrew.org \ imap_user = mc...@cepl.eu \ imap_pass = secret2 \ ... { any other mutt settings } } and then I would run $ mutt -C work (C as aCcount) and when inside of mutt I could refer to the other account with something like <save-message>#floss/INBOX/somewhere Anybody heard about something like this?
