mutt + procmail + qmail
Hey people, I just starting using qmail with Maildir format. I'm a long-time Mutt, Procmail and mbox user. Does anyone have an example .procmailrc file, and .muttrc file, for working with Maildir format? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P.

John Warno uttered: (Every dir below ~/Mail is assumed to be in maildir format; this picks up things like sent-mail and postponed and other fcc locations, so mutt winds up claiming things like 'new mail in =sent-mail' after sending a mail out, but this is OK for me.) Hrmm well actually not for =sent-mail, which is a good thing. But it does alert about 'new mail' in =postponed which is not a bad thing either. :) Ciao, Keith. -- Isn't it time we care and lose the hate Understand our fears -- Dream Theater, Blind Faith

Soulier uttered: On 11/09/02 Johan Almqvist did speaketh: # cat ~/.qmail |preline procmail -t ~/.procmailrc # cat ~/.procmailrc DEFAULT=~/Maildir/ #cat ~/.muttrc mailboxes ~/Maildir/ I take it that your other mail folders then would be sub-folders of ~/Maildir? My sysadmin recently told me that was a bad idea. [snip] Smack your sysadmin. Maildir format, that is 'extended maildir' format, happily allows for nested maildirs. You wind up with structure that looks like: foo/ foo/cur/ foo/new/ foo/tmp/ foo/.bar/ foo/.bar/cur/ foo/.bar/new/ foo/.bar/tmp/ .bar is obviously a 'sub-folder' of foo; extended-maildir-aware mail clients should strip the dot and just show it to you as 'bar'. mutt, from what I've seen, doesn't do this. It shows you verbatim: foo/.bar/, which is fine for me. :) I don't use procmail but rather maildrop which knows about maildirs (extended), along with qmail. My ~/.qmail: $ cat .qmail # simple one-liner |maildrop I've got maildrop delivering to ~/Mail/INBOX/ by default (ie, when no other rule is satisfied). List mail winds up in a structure like: ~/Mail/lists/.mutt/ ~/Mail/lists/.kernel/ ...etc Note that ~/Mail/lists/ is itself a maildir (although I don't use it for receiving mail currently). The ~/.mutt/muttrc contains: set folder=~/Mail set mbox_type=Maildir set spoolfile=~/Mail/INBOX mailboxes `mdirs` `mdirs` is a simple shell script to find all the maildirs: #!/bin/bash # exec find ~/Mail -type d -mindepth 1 \ \( -name tmp -o -name cur -o -name new \ -prune \) \ -o \ \( -type d -mindepth 1 -printf '%p ' \) (Every dir below ~/Mail is assumed to be in maildir format; this picks up things like sent-mail and postponed and other fcc locations, so mutt winds up claiming things like 'new mail in =sent-mail' after sending a mail out, but this is OK for me.) Anyway, good luck! Sorry I don't have any procmail recipes. :/ Regards, Keith.
