The **ONLY** way to not get an extra copy is **NOT** to get CC'd in the
first place (and vice versa; i.e you in To and list in CC). It is
disgusting that the list software decides whether to honor the headers
or not

Forcing closure of an IMAP connection

2013-02-22 Thread J. A. Landamore
I use mutt 1.5.20 to access my mail over IMAP held on several different
servers.

One of these servers was "upgraded" last year and now exhibits an issue
whereby approximately 5 minutes after it was last accessed it hangs, but
doesn't close, the connection to mutt.  This hangs mutt for a couple of
minutes then mutt closes the connection and we're all happy again.

I don't get a lot of mail on this server and look at it probably once a
day or less so this isn't a great problem but it would  be great if there
was some key combination I could use to do a force a close of the
connection.  Is there any way of manually closing an IMAP connection in
mutt?

Regards

Record Sent Mesages to IMAP Folder when Using Mutt on Command Line

2013-02-22 Thread Reim, Thomas

Dear all,

I've succesfully configured mutt to receive messages via IMAP and send
messages via SMTP from/to a mail server (Dovecot, Postfix) in the
network.

If I send mails using Mutt's user interface, sent mails are saved in the
relevant IMAP folder "Sent".

But if I use the command-line mode of mutt, e. g.

>echo "This is a test message" | mutt -s "Test Message"
testu...@mydomain.com 

or 

>mutt -s "Test Message" testu...@mydomain.com  < /tmp/message_body.txt

Mutt sends the e-mail, but does not store a copy of the sent e-mail in
the "Sent" folder.

What do I miss?
