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 ########################################
set imap_user="jkx"
set spoolfile=imaps://mail.larsen-b.com/
set folder=imaps://mail.larsen-b.com/INBOX
set record=imaps://mail.larsen-b.com/INBOX.Sent
mailboxes  imaps://mail.larsen-b.com/

### Hooks #######################################
folder-hook INBOX.Sent 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-20.20t (%41) %s"'
folder-hook INBOX.JOB my_hdr From: XXXXX <XXXX@job.fr>

  1. 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… :)

  2. 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.
