I like mutt as well and use it most of the time (except when it comes to
clean up my imap-folders, then a drag'n'drop-thing comes handy).

To make this a bit qmail-specific: distribution of your mail, depends:
- I have a multidrop-pop-mailbox where every mail sent to @picard.inka.de is
  thrown in.
- So I just subscribe with mirko-qmail@, mirko-php@ to lists and have the
corresponding .qmail-qmail, .qmail-php in my home-dir, which will deliver it
in folders, ala ~/lists/qmail/
- I took these out of my standard ~/mail-folder as imapd is not very happy
with more than 1000 messages/folder ;-).

Actually, last I heard was that support for filter was discontinued in
the current elm release version(s).  I'd personally recommend using
procmail or maildrop with elm, even if filter was available.

Mutt is indeed very nice, especially for people who have been using elm
though by no means limited to them.  And it also supports qmail-style
maildirs (to add some qmail-relevance to the discussion...).

Elm comes with a filter utility to sort mail into different folders. If
you want to do filtering with other mail clients, you can use procmail
or maildrop.

Netscape can thread messages, but I also suggest you look at mutt
(http://www.mutt.org). Although it's not X-based, it is very nice.

Mail client and sorting

1999-09-16 Thread Subba Rao

I have subscribed to many mailing lists. Soon I will have my Qmail working. My favorite
mail client is ELM. How do I sort differrent mailing lists into different folders? Are 
any other
mail readers in X, not KDE nor GTK based clients. I want the threading capability.

THank you in advance.
