Changing IMAP username on same IMAP server
I have two IMAP accounts on the same IMAP4 server, how can I tell mutt to change from one to the other? If I just source a file which does a 'set imap_user=new user name' mutt doesn't seem to know anything has changed. The IMAP server is the same so the $folder and $spoolfile names are unchanged (so is the password for that matter!). -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/

If I try to save to a file on the local file system it works fine. Can anyone help me out here? I don't know which Kernels comes with RedHat 6.1, but I presume it's 2.2.*. If your NFS server supports locking (Linux userspace nfsd doesn't, the knfsd does, if it is compiled with the correct options), everything should be okay, but you shouldn't miss to start lockd and statd on both machines. If your NFS server doesn't support locking, you have to add the option "nolock" to the mount options for this filesystem on the client machine (otherwise Linux 2.2.* on the client will complain). In addition to this you should upgrade to at least kernel 2.2.13, because otherwise you will loose mail (there is a feature in 2.2.* kernels which flushes the cache of a file when it is locked, but in kernel =2.2.12 this feature did only work if the server supports locking. Since 2.2.13 this also works for servers which do not support locking). Ciao Roland -- * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www.spinnaker.de/ *

Expire date ?
Hello ! is it possible to set an expire date, so that mutt automatically delets messages in a folder ? Thanks, Christian -- This is clearly another case of too many mad scientists, and not enough hunchbacks.

Latter I thought to look on the client, saw there was no lockd, started it, and that fixed everything. While all this was going on, I noticed that I only get this error message when saving from a normal folder, not when saving from an IMAP folder. It failed in both cases, I just did not get notified when saving from an IMAP folder. I wonder why that is? I was saving to a regular file in both cases. Thanks, - Dan

As a minor side issue: is there a way to save message to a *file* (i.e. without the locking)? Dotlocking does not work on FAT partitions... Best Regards, Marius Gedminas -- UNIX is user friendly.

In winblows u always get a popup window in that case where u can say yes or no to confirm. Well, yes. In fact, there are two concepts at work here, namely Delivery Status Notifications (DSN, RFC 1894), and Message Disposition Notifications (MDN, RFC 2298). As far as I understand, the former ones are the classical "Return-Receipts", i.e., a notification that a message has been delivered. The latter ones concern the question what the end user has done to a message. One may consider them an invasion of the reader's privacy. Should I wish to confirm that I read a mesage, I can just reply to it. More simply, I think that adding support for generating MDNs to mutt would be totally unnecesary additional code bloat to a program which tries to get bloated anyways.
