Mutt problem - IMAP pre-login

Majkhii · 2007-11-12 00:08:04

Hi all,
i have three mailboxes and I want to use mutt for reading emails. But I have problem, when I run mutt, it logs in to only one of mailbox and the next two emails are 'offline'. So, is possible to login to all mailboxes at once? Thx for help.

I have installed muttng 1.5.15-1

My .muttrc:

set signature="~/.signature"
set sig_on_top=yes
set editor="vim"


# imap
set timeout=60
set mail_check=30

#et imap_list_subscribed=yes

You're getting exactly what you should with the "folder-hook" config property. I'd suggest you read up on mutt configuration when it comes to IMAP - there are about 4 or 5 different ways to connect.
You probably want to use the imaps://user@domain.com/MBOX syntax to connect on startup.

Also, have a look at offlineimap[1]. It is also mentioned in the Wiki under Mutt. It makes the handling of IMAP under mutt a lot more convenient.

I disagree here. I like mutt's imap handling because it's all "one package" - the 40-apps-to-read-email think in linux has always irritated me - fetchmail, procmail, sendmail, mutt... ugh. If I can just use one app, I'll be happy.

@phrakture:
But then again, having one application for one specific job is the Unix-Way; it's pretty KISS to have an dedicated app for IMAP, for SMTP, for organizing your emails etc. Fits perfectly to Arch!

I just made that suggestion to help the OP, lets not turn this into a "I don't like the way XYZ is done!"-thread.

Oh, I wants a cookie!

Mutt does one thing well: reading mails via maildir/mbox.
If you think mutt does imap well, I'm afraid you're delusional.

Even with the hcache patch it's ridiculously slow, because it always grabs all the headers.

Now... What does offlineimap do? It syncs all your configured IMAP setups with a local maildir.
<french word that ends with "la">: best of both worlds.

Also, the unix way is a crap argument. Just in case you think I'm supporting any of you guys. ;-)

An all-in-wonder-solution to that problem is obviously thunderbird, but that one can't run via ssh.
So we end up with the usual suspect: emacs.

BADAM TISH! :-P

Hmm, well, let me put it this way - it's no slower than reading large maildirs full of ML mails that I never archived. With 3000 messages in one dir, it took some time to open it up - mutts imap is as fast here, which is why I have no complaints.

I have a completely different experience...
But I can't argue for mutt one way or the other, because I don't think that the traditional way of opening mailboxes scales well.

I much more like the way news clients handle that stuff... But yeah, another holy war. ;-)

Another reason to access imap through offlineimap or isync is that some imap servers do not support imap search, so that you can not do remote searches. This is - ironically enough - the case of gmail's imap implementation. When you sync with local maildirs you can index and search them with powerful tools such as mairix.
