I receive mailing lists in separate mail boxes and mutt knows
about them.
Unfortunately mutt rarely shows the sender name in the main
menu, but instead the To: or CC: list name which I already know.
How can I configure mutt to show the sender (author)?
Check out the manual entry for index_format. Copy the the default
string into your muttrc and change "L" to "n":
set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15n (%4l) %s"
^
You could also experiment with "a" or "F".

using mutt from a dynamic IP PPP connection
i think a dynamic IP PPP connection is a fairly common setup, so im hoping someone here has run across these same problems... mutt doesnt seem to be able to send mail by connecting to another machines MTA...(pine is able to, so i had no problems sending mail until i switched to mutt). the problem with using sendmail is sendmail makes wrong "From" and "From:" lines... the "From:" lines are correctable with a my_hdr...although that just fixes it for mutt, and isnt very elegent... im told a genericstable file for sendmail is able to change a users email address, but ive been usable to get this to work...the sendmail documentation is in troff/ps format and the Makefiles arent working for me...im sort of at a dead end... mutt is an awesome mail client but its a real pain being only able to read mail with it, and pasting messages into pine and sending from there when i need to reply...has anyone else set up the genericstable file? i would appreciate any info. thanks, jeremy m. dolan mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] irc: _jmd_@efnet
Can mutt connect to exchange servers.
Hi, I've been using mutt for the past couple of years now and our company recently migrated to the infamous Exchange server. I was wondering if mutt can connect to it as pine does. I've been looking around the several Mutt web pages but failed to obtain the answer. Can you help please?

This is a handy feature for filtering, seeing who's selling your email addy, etc. In effect, you've got as many mailboxes as you want with one account. I'm trying to get my ISP to support this, and need the (sort of) FAQ on it as a selling point. Anyone got a pointer to it? AFAIK, it's not made it into any RFCs. It's a default option in Sendmail, actually... some mentions of it occur on http://www.sendmail.org/.
