That won't work (at least it never has for me).

Mutt doesn't allow you to enter mailbox names with spaces in them. It
will, however, auto-complete names with spaces.  To get to All Mail,
you have to enter '=[Gmail]/All' and then hit [Tab] followed by
[Enter].

Probably by switching to the "All Mail" folder -- press c and enter 
=[Gmail]/All Mail -- at least I assume that's where you want to get them 
from.

How to fetch inbox for a newly mutt client (gmail account)

2013-04-19 Thread Kevin Wilson
Hi,
I installed mutt of Fedora 18 and configured muttrc
to my gmail account; I am able to send messages properly.
However, the inbox is almost empty (5 messages) and I want to
fetch previous messages (let's say
1000 or 2000) from my inbox of the gmail account

How can I achieve this ?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to this.

See Conditionals (under Format Strings) in the mutt manual.  For 
example:

set index_format="... %?L?list: %-20.20L&...? ..."

No, I didn't realize that would let me use the shift key.

Hello!

Have you tried something like:

   macro index B "your macro here"

It should run "your macro" in the index with shift-b or is there
something I'm not getting here?

Sender string of a mailing list

2013-04-19 Thread Dominik Vogt
With mutt-1.5.21 I have a little trouble with mailing lists.  In
~/.muttrc there are the lines

  subscribe libc-alpha
  set index_format="%3C%S %{%b-%d}  %-20.20L  %5c  %s"

Now when list mail is received, mutt shows a wide variety of
"senders" in the message list, which makes it very tedious to
manually identify which message was coming from which list:

 * "To libc-al...@sourceware.org"
   (sent to libc-al...@sourceware.org)
 * "Cc libc-al...@sourceware.org"
   (cc'ed to libc-al...@sourceware.org)
 * "Cc GNU C Library"
   (cc'ed to GNU C Library )
 * "To libc-alpha"
   (sent to libc-alpha =

1. Is there a way to prevent that mutt uses the display name of
   the message in the index, i.e. to display
   "libc-al...@sourceware.org" instead of "GNU C Library"?
2. Is there a way to get rid of the "Cc" or "To" without losing
   the other benefits of %L in the index_format?

Ciao
