Re: moving to Mutt from Gmail
Why not use Gmail's own spam filter to eliminate the spam? It works pretty well and doesn't require you to use or maintain SpamAssassin. Use Mutt with IMAP and the messages will stay on the practically limitless storage space of Gmail's server. Use GnuPG for any messages critical of say, Janet Napolitano, and live a simple life.

moving to Mutt from Gmail
I have MUTT set up and working on my system. I don't use it though because 1) the inbox is stuffed with several THOUSAND message through which I need to sort and delete the spam and 2) I haven't yet figured out how to set up SpamAssassin to filter the junk out. My question: can I just copy the current inbox to a backup file and start fresh, after getting SA set up and trained, so that I can get all my mail from MUTT? I like the GUI nature of gmail but I can live without that if I can set up MUTT to have the appropriate programs invoked for various content viewing/playing. Please advise! Scott
Problem with Fcc: saved mailbox
When composing a normal message in mutt (1.5.21), after exiting the text editor and returning to the header/attachment page prior to sending, the Fcc: box is properly set based upon value in the hook file for the recipient. However, in some circumstances while editing the original message, I alter the From: line to an alternative address I use with a different domain name. In this situation, when I exit the text editor, mutt apparently does not scan the hook file and simply sets Fcc: to the default value. What can I do in the configuration file to force mutt to set the proper Fcc: regardless of which From: address I am using? Thanks for any insights. -- Jeffery Small
