My /c/cygwin/var/log directory doesn't have a mail.log file. My .muttrc file is as follows: [...]> set sendmail = "/usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe" The 'set sendmail' config option tells mutt which MTA to use to send mail. It's trying to talk to a program called ssmtp.exe . Is that program there? Is it exactly where .muttrc says it is? Look at ssmtp's config file and see if it's logging somewhere.

how to cut attachments from mails...
Hi users how can I remove all attachments from a mail? The idea is, if someone send me a big mail with pictures, I save the images with 'save' and after, I want to archive the mail-text, whithout the (big) attachments. The simplest way is a macro in mutt to remove all attachments on the selected mail. Does anyone have a good and simple idea to do this? Thanks for any replies. raphi

Mutt doesn't send messages (unless you use the new smtp feature) check your $sendmail log.

Re: Mutt stopped sending emails
You have to tell us a bit more about your setup in order for anybody to try to troubleshoot it. What is your setup, did you look into your mail.log? By default mutt doesn't send any messages out, mutt is just a composer it communicates with MTA like postfix, sendmail etc. to deliver the message. -- #Joseph On 10/01/07 13:30, Jerome Fong wrote: > Hi there, > > Mutt has been working fine on my machine for a couple of months now. > However, all of a sudden, it stopped sending my messages out or sending > the messages out after an 8+ hour delay.

Mutt stopped sending emails
Hi there, Mutt has been working fine on my machine for a couple of months now. However, all of a sudden, it stopped sending my messages out or sending the messages out after an 8+ hour delay. Any idea what could be causing this or where I should start looking to resolve the problem? Thanks, Jerome Fong

viewing two multiple mails
Hi Mutt users: Mutt and console application are great, but there's one feature in the gui mail clients that I miss: I can open one message in a new window, then open another(possibly in another mailbox) to view them simultaneously. I know this is probably hard to achieve in a console application, but what I want to do at least is this: When I view an mail 1 in mailbox/directory 1, then I temporary suspend this viewing and go to an mail 2 in mailbox 2(or another message in the same mailbox). After consulting with the message 2 and quit, I want to return to the same position in the first mail. Currently what I do is I close mail 1 and change directory(c) to mailbox 2, but when I return to 1, I'm again at the newest message and I have to search again to go to message 1. Alternatively, I can fire up another instance of mutt in another xterm and view the mail. But often I get locking issues from my imap server, so that I get kicked out of inbox in instance 1 after using instance 2. I don't have this issue when viewing locally stored mailbox. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Jiang

Re: Two problems - sorting index +
Thank you Kyle the excellent explanation. This is a Gentoo forum type of
answer/explanation; friendly and in
details.
This kind of spirit encourage others to use the software.
This one will go into my help file collection.
I have replaced "%-15.15a" with "%-15.15n"
%n author's real name (or address if missing)
This one displays my name along with others.

Sorry; the answer to your question is that it's controlled by index
display, specifically, the variable $index_format. The default
$index_format is:
%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s
^ ^^ ^ ^^^- Subject
| || | |`- size of message, in lines or bytes
| || | `- THIS IS THE ONE TO CHANGE
| |`--+- The date and time of the message
| `- message status flags
`- current message number
The one you want to change (%-15.15L, or more simply, %L) means,
according to the documentation:
If an address in the To or CC header field matches an address
defined by the users "subscribe" command, this displays "To
", otherwise the same as %F
%F means:
author name, or recipient name if the message is from you
What it doesn't mention is that if it shows the recipient name, it
shows it in the form "To ".
In other words, you haven't specified in your muttrc that
mutt-users@mutt.org is a list you're subscribed to, and so it's
falling back on %F for all of those messages. If you want it to ALWAYS
show the author of the message, replace "%-15.15L" with "%-15.15a" in
your $index_format, which is the address of the author of the message.

Mutt and and IMAP Folders (Namespaces / Prefixes)
Hi, I intend to use mutt in the feature for reading/writing emails. However, besides some defaults that seem strange to me, it is good. But I am experiencing problems with IMAP. Scenario: Our companies imap server is a dovecot imap server, migrated from an earlier courier imap. So this one has an INBOX. prefix before each folder. Thats annoying, but it is. So now the question is: How to setup mutt, so that working with this is posssible efficient? Configuration in .muttrc: set imap_user = X set imap_pass = X set folder = imap://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX. set spoolfile = imap://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX set record = imap://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX.Sent set postponed = imap://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX.Drafts This configuration works so far, that I can change to folders via 'c'. If i remove the point at the end of set folder I cannot see any folder except INBOX. Not working are the shorthand to call e.g. INBOX.Mailinglisten.mutt-users by =Mailinglisten.mutt-users. I could really need this to work with my folder structure. So can somebody give me a hint on how to fix this? Is this fixable at all? If possible I would like to avoid the use of an imap syncer.
