confirm deleting mail
hi, when deleting mails, usually press 'd' to mark it, then switch to maildir list to confirm deleting those marked mails, then switch back. Is there easier way? Thanks Lars

yeah, the manual says we will be informed, but in fact i tested and didnt see any information about the error. lars On Tue, 02 Jun 2009, Nicolas Rachinsky wrote: * JP Bruns emailj...@gmx.de [2009-06-02 10:37 +0200]: Is there anything for console-only systems? Mutt is a great piece of software, but - in my eyes - is lacking this important feature. Would it be possible to take the return-code/-message of the *smtp program and display that on the status-line (or the message(?)-line)? What about creating a mail-reply to that message on its own with the sending-error as body and mark that as new mail? Please wrap your lines.

How can I know if error happens when sending mail?
Hi, I'm using msmtp to send mail. I've set sendmail_wait=-1 in .muttrc to make sending mail not blocking. But there comes a problem. If any error happens when sending mail, I will not aware about it. And sometimes it cause trouble to my work. How can I solve this problem? I need to be told if error happens in sending mail. Thanks Lars

Re: How can I know if error happens when sending mail?
Hi Markus, Thanks for the method you provided. In fact I thought of that too. But still it's not efficient to watch that log file everytime after sending a mail. Logwatch should work but still I wonder if there is any easier way to do this job. Could we possible wrap msmtp in a shell script, and in the script call pass all parameters to msmtp and watch consequential results? Have anybody done that?

Thanks Lars Ciao Lars, you can specify a log_file for msmtp by adding the following to each account_setting in your .msmtprc logfile ~/msmtp.log all you need to do then is to watch the file after sending an email. it may take a few seconds before the logentries are written for each mail. for notification you could add a logwatcher to automate this process. cheers, markus ___ Nur bis 31.05.: WEB.DE FreeDSL Komplettanschluss mit DSL 6.000 Flatrate und Telefonanschluss f?r 17,95 Euro/mtl.! http://produkte.web.de/go/02/ - End forwarded message -

If you can force your mail server to avoid using TLS when talking to them, then you can probably send mail, but ... their TLS setup is basically broken.

How can I fix it? ^ In case this means that you're using msmtp, this is an msmtp and not a mutt question ;-) I seem to remember encountering something similar when using msmtp though. From man msmtp: --tls-min-dh-prime-bits=[bits] Set or unset minimum bit size of the Diffie-Hellman (DH) prime. See the tls_min_dh_prime_bits command below. [...] tls_min_dh_prime_bits [bits] Set or unset the minimum number of Diffie-Hellman (DH) prime bits that msmtp will accept for TLS sessions. The default is set by the TLS library and can be selected by using an empty argument to this command. Only lower the default (for example to 512 bits) if there is no other way to make TLS work with the remote server. Setting tls_min_dh_prime_bits 512 in my msmtprc helped me overcome the problem, perhaps the same holds true for you. c -- Was hei?t hier Dogma, ich bin Underdogma!

Thanks your for your help. I found that L works without lists or subscribe in .muttrc. When I use L the target address becomes To: mutt-users@mutt.org, amazing.

Gmail style alias setting
Hello, Gmail can do a lot of work automatically, but I believe mutt can do it better. Such as alias setting, gmail can 1. store all mails appeared in all mail headers, e.g., From/To/CC/BCC 2. auto-complete when your key-in any part of a mail address. e.g., when you key in ab, addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ab Barth, [EMAIL PROTECTED] will show up for your choice. 3. when storing alias, if the person's name is included in header, gmail will save it too, for example, if you receive a mail from Ab Barth, [EMAIL PROTECTED], the name and address will both be saved. Do you think it's possible to let mutt do the alias thing as smart as gmail? Please tell me how to. Thank you very much! Best Lars
