[newbie] getting mail from spool to sylpheed

2002-11-06 Thread Todd Slater
I access e-mail remotely using ssh and mutt. With mutt, I'm actually
reading the spool, so I can't read old messages I have in my sylpheed
folder, and messages I send using mutt do not go to my sylpheed outbox. 

Is there a way I can have mail sent from the spool to sylpheed (without
even running sylpheed?) and then use mutt to access that folder?

At least I think that's the question I want to ask.

Thanks,
Todd

OK, I did a little more digging and added this to ~/.mutt/muttrc

set folder=~/sylmail
set mbox=+inbox
set mbox_type=MH

(Sylpheed uses MH format for mail.) Now, I run mutt and get mail from the
spool. If I run mutt -f =inbox I get my Sylpheed inbox, and mutt -f
=inbox/otherfolder for other folders inside the inbox. Pretty close to
ideal!
