Just gone. I have just been leaving mail in > the mail spoon. Mutt has a habit of trashing that file. I am useing mutt since 0.48 I never experienced that behaviour. One thing I am trying to track down is that there seems to be a prob. with collapsed threads, but besids this ... nope, cannot confirm that. Greetings -- Alexander N.

I've been using mutt 0.93i for a couple of months now and I usually check the amount of incoming mail with fetchmail in verbose mode and check it against the amount mutt indicates. No problem so far (well, may be just now that I've started with procmail). Just love it (I should try pine just for the sake of it...). -- Un saludo, Horacio [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodet? --
mutt trashes mail
I am afraid to try mutt again. After a long hiattus, I tried mutt again after some version changes. I lost a large slug of mail. Just gone. I have just been leaving mail in the mail spoon. Mutt has a habit of trashing that file. Can anybody corroborate this behavior? Has this kind of problem been solved? I am now using af. Alan Davis -- Alan E.

It may depend where you're coming from. I new in from pine, and built my .muttrc from "Sven's". It mentions that "hold" became "move" at sometime. I use set nomove and setnomark_old so everything stays put (and stays new until actually read) until I explicitly save or delete it. The only thing I haven't worked out is whether I can leave a folder with deleted messages in it, and return to find them still marked as deleted (which can be done in pine). It seems to unmark them if you don't purge. I'd also like the keystrokes s=foo s to put the 2nd message in foo rather than making up a new name. But these are details. Mutt works really well, and compiling the upstream version on the university sun (and linux) was trivial. Takes up 1.6MB though :( (Why do I run it on the sun? Because I don't trust the file-locking in their IMAP server.)

mutt trashes mail
I upgraded mutt to v 0.93.2-1. Now all mail that has been read is deleted from my inbox. Is there a configuration issue? alan davis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
