Enjoy Mutt

I get it! I managed to use mutt w/ my imap folders, with hooks and everything fine. This is not really hard, but :

  • libsas-modules break the SSL certification (without any error message)
  • mutt really lack of header cache for imap (there is a patch for Maildir but no for imap)
### IMAP ########################################

    Perhaps i should try: isync: IMAP MailDir mailbox synchronize.. http://isync.sourceforge.net/ to avoid the lack of cache

    Yeah, as much as I love mutt, I gave up because of the lack of IMAP cache. I hated having to wait for it to scan hundreds of messages everytime I opened a folder. Sigh.

    Now I use Sylpheed-claws on Linux, Mail.app on the Mac, and Squirrelmail as a webmail. But perhaps the isync thing could work… :)

    In fact, after a little google, mutt seems to support this. I found a flag in my freeBSD makefile, but as i don’t use freeBSD on all box (mainly use linux) i haven’t look foward.

    I used sylpheed-vanilla (the claws was too buggy when tested) and it’s work fine. but i want something in console, because i move a lot and installing in on every host i impossible.

    I gonna look at mutt source code.

    You should take a look at offlineimap.

    http://gopher.quux.org:70/devel/offlineimap/

    It does a nice job of sync’ing imap folders to maildir format locally.

    What is the difference w/ isync ? Do i need to do some extra sync ?

    IMAP Header Caching is now included in the my header cache which was the maildir header cache. http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sithglan/mutt/
