Macro/Key Binding to call Fetchmail?
Hi, I normally check mail from within Mutt 1.5.16 as follows: ! Fetchmail -v but I suspect this could be bound to a key rather than typed in each time. I have flailed around with no success, could I have a little direction from the mutt-users? Thanks, Andrew -- Andrew's Corner http://people.aapt.net.au/~adjlstrong/homer.html

Type l (the letter ell) to limit the messages that mutt displays,
followed by
~F|~N
to display only those messages that are either flagged (~F) or new
(~N). See the mutt manual, especially the section on "Patterns" for
more examples.

If you delete them, they won't show up anymore. :>
If you don't like the idea of totally deleting them, you could apply the
trash folder patch, and save them to a trash folder for later deleting
and / or archiving. If you want to keep different trashes for different
folders, this can be accomplished with folder hooks.
Personally, I leave messages marked as "New" until I've responded to
them or dealt with whatever needed to be dealt with, and then I either
leave them in the folder (but unread), or delete them.
I don't think you can /hide/ old and / or read messages, but you can
color them differently if you want.

How to organize mail in folders?
I used to use Gnus which is a newsreader at heart. Therefore the method
to organize mail in folders ("groups" in Gnus-speak) was different from
what I think I need with Mutt.
I'd like to get some ideas from you how you organize your mail.
For reference, here is what I think the problem might be.
I distribute incoming mail across several folders according to the
address they were sent to -- I am subscribed to quite a number of
mailing lists.
For most mailing lists, I want to know which messages are still to do,
and also to keep old messages that have already been processed.
With Gnus, I marked the to-do messages as important ("flagged" them, in
Mutt-speak, I think). After it was done, the message was marked as
read. Gnus would automatically show me both new messages and important
messages, hiding the ones marked as read.
I think Mutt always shows me all messages, so this method cannot be
used.

Kai

When you "change" rather than use "y", it is offered as default in the order your specified them. > - How to restrict the list of mailboxes to the ones with new mail? No way, unless you use local mailboxes and delete/ save any read msgs to leave only N inside: when the folder is empty, it will be removed from the filesystem (mbox-format required) when you set "save_empty=no", and it will disappear from "y" list, but reappear when new mail arrives and the folder exists again. > - How to show the total number of messages / the number of unread > messages in each mailbox?

"cd" means opening a directory of the filesystem to show you files acting as mailfolders (!= directories with "mbox format"). Mailfolders are simply selected from the browser, or "change"d to from the index. You have to explain in detail step by step _without_ using macros what you want to achieve and when (where you start), then describe which part(s) you want to automate with macros. -- © Rado S. -- You must provide YOUR effort for your goal!

Re: Q: Better list of mailboxes?
Greetings,
* Kai Grossjohann [2007-07-10 14:51]:
I have added all my (important) mail folders to the mailboxes list, and
I am now very fond of y to browse them. Some small features are
missing, though, so I thought I'd ask here for ideas:
- How to navigate to the next/previous mailbox with new mail?
- How to restrict the list of mailboxes to the ones with new mail?
- How to show the total number of messages / the number of unread
messages in each mailbox?
Not an exact answer to your question, but a possible solution - try the
sidebar patch:
http://lunar-linux.org/~tchan/mutt/patch-1.5.16.sidebar.20070704.txt
The patch adds a sidebar with list of folders on the left side of the
mutt window. The sidebar shows folders with the total and new number of
messages in them and folders with new messages can be highlighted.
- How to elide information from each line, such as the permissions and
ownerships of the directories?
Tweak folder_format. Remove %F, %u and %g to get rid of the mode and
ownership information.
Again, by using the sidebar patch you're only getting folder name and
message count.
Hope this helps.
