How do I make pop support do polling?
For reasons I can not understand (it's a job thing) My mail servers can neither do imap or nfs mount /var/mail. My only choice is to do pop3. How do I make pop poll the pop server? I looked through the docs and it seems there is no timer functionality for the "fetch_mail" command. (and no I can not use fetchmail, I have to have mutt do it. It sounds unreasonable but that's the way the higher ups have decided to do things) TIA, timball -- Send mail with subject "send pgp key" for public key. pub 1024R/CFF85605 1999-06-10 Timothy L.

I myself am adding kerberos support (again) into mutt, via a SASL (Simple Authentication Support Layer), it does kerberos via GSSAPI. The practical upshot of doing it this way is that when you POP yr mail the body of the message is sent encrypted... and of course kerberos allows you to log into the pop server w/o using a passwd. > I won't go into wondering why you can't fake it with fetchmail or the > like; I like Mikko's suggetsion about upgrading your higher-ups :-) Fetchmail is frowned upon because of the fact that fetchamil basically runs as a deamon. > If you have access to the server, could you just read in an xterm from > there? Or perhaps you could grab your mail out of /var/mail and > "deliver" it to $HOME somewhere... The mail server no longer allows ssh/ktelnet access to "normal" users. Basically what I would like to see is POP support in mutt to be on the line of IMAP support, polling of mailhost and delivering it to an INBOX or something similiar. Course I'm having some issues w/ pop.c. I guess it's the fact that I'm unfamiliar w/ the "mutt" way of doing things. One where can I add a ./configure option. (I am very unfamiliar w/ m4.) how do I add stuff to init.h, and what format should it be in. And in pop.c where does the pop mesgs actually get "stored" in the mailbox? Is it via the mx_commit_message() function near line 280? --timball -- Send mail with subject "send pgp key" for public key. pub 1024R/CFF85605 1999-06-10 Timothy L.

mutt and POP3-SSL
I am already working for SSL support for pop. I've already sent in a patch to intergrate mutt pop and kerberos vi the SASL libraries.

default folders
I have search pretty far. Maybe I'm blind. But how do I save emails to a default box as a choice w/ the "s" button? And what do I have to do if I get a message from a person like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and I always wanna save those messages (If I wanna save them) in mailbox =foo? --timball
Default save hook
I've read the docs maybe I'm just dumb but how do I make a default save hook? I'd just like it so that when I hit "s" email gets saved to =default. And if I send mail I'd like the mail to goto =sent-mail... I've read the various .muttrc examples and I just feel really dumb. --timball
[OT] pgp question
I already have a pub/secret key using pgp 2.6.2 on my solaris machine I wanted to know how do I move that set of keyrings over to my linux machine?

more sane editting?
I'm using mutt 1.0i and vim to to edit my mail... I've set the edit_headers thing and I have a sig on the bottom om my mail.

Re: Clicking http- and ftp-Links in mutt?
If you use gnome-terminal, if you hold down the key whilst clicking on a url gnome-terminal will open a fresh copy of netscape w/ the url...

which is preferred slang/ncurses?
I've noticed a small difference (potentially major) difference between the slang and ncurses interface. In ncurses if I use the bg color of "default" mutt will use transperent backgrounds in gnome-terminal (or Eterm) but if I use slang 1) default goes to "black" and 2) Colors look wierd. So I thought I'd ask which interface is preferred? ncurses or slang? -- Send mail with subject "send pgp key" for public key. pub 1024R/CFF85605 1999-06-10 Timothy L.

[Feature Request] ordering of headers
Is there a way to make mutt display headers in the same order for each mail? It seem that mutt is just printing the headers in the order that is inside each email. Like sometimes I get: Date: From: To: Subject: Uh huh. Message-ID: and other times I get: Message-ID: To: Date: Subject: Uh huh. From: I already use the ignore and uninore thingie. I was just hoping to order the headers so that reading email becomes more uniform. --timball -- Send mail with subject "send pgp key" for public key. pub 1024R/CFF85605 1999-06-10 Timothy L.

one click save/sending?
Is there a way to give vim a single keystroke to at once both save and send a letter in mutt? I love everything else in mutt and I even have a vimrc that makes the status bar behave like my mutt colors but the one thing I miss from the evil pine days was the ability to just hit ^x and send a letter.

delaying sends of email
I have been using mutt for quite a while just by ssh'ing into my main server. Now I just got a laptop and I would like to be able to rsync my inboxes from mainserver to laptop, and then be able to respond to email from the laptop and then delay the sending of the messages while the laptop isn't connected. I'm willing to do this in exim if that's the "right place to do it", but one of the requirements is that I be able to send mail when ever I'm connected, even if it's not to the same ISP.
