Re: Running a mutt macro from crontab

what do you mean by stale threads? threads that lack a parent message?
A stale thread would be one that haven't had any activity for some
time. I subscribe to a lot of lists that I only really use/read once a
year or so. It's a bit a annoying to have to wait for mutt to open a
mailbox with 3 messages in it, so I'd like a way to get rid of them
automatically.
anyway, you might want to run that macro as a folder-hook. Something
like this:
folder-hook lists/.* 'push your_macro_goes_here'
Following your clue this is what I came up with.
First you need a separate muttrc-file just for thread pruning.
~/mutt/muttrc_prune_stale_threads
set spoolfile=/home/oivvio/imap
set folder=/home/oivvio/imap
alternates
(oiv...@polite.se|myli...@polite.se|oivvioslis...@polite.se|oiv...@gmail.com)
set delete=yes
folder-hook . 'push delete-pattern!(~(~d 2m)) !(~(~P|~F))enterq'
This hook will delete all threads that have not had any activity for 2
months and that do not have any messages that I've written or flagged.
It will then quit.
Then I can run the whole thing from cron every night against my folder of
email lists. Notice that I use maildir and not mailbox.
find /home/oivvio/imap/notmyprivateemail_gmail -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d
-exec mutt -F ~/mutt/muttrc_prune_stale_threads -f {} \;

Re: How to browse Imap folders?
I've found mutts IMAP-support to be less than stellar. A good workaround is to use a IMAP-Maildir syncronizer like offlineimap. http://software.complete.org/offlineimap -- http://polite.se

Send off all postponed messages
I regularly deal with mail when I'm away from my DSL pipe. Right now I'm at the coffee shop and the postponed messages are piling up. When I get back to the office I'd like to be able to send-all-postponed-messages. -- Alex Polite http://plusseven.com/gpg/
