Posting here, because I feel like a newbie when it comes to mutt.
A couple of questions for you dog masters out there...
1) Is there a way I can startup mutt in a particular mbox?
2) Is there a way I can startup in mailbox list choose mode? I can alias mutt to mutt -y, but that seems inelegant. Is there a way to acheive this in the config file?
3) How can I update my mail listing without restarting mutt? Is there a way to reparse the mbox files? I have fetchmail and procmail pulling in my messages periodically (cron'ed), but I have to restart mutt to see any new mails...
That is it for now..

by default, "G" is for "get mail" - it should be bound to call fetchmail...

I got that part. I set a config option in muttrc for it, but it doesnt seem to be refreshing the listing. Hmm. Maybe I was trying ^G.

Ok. I got #3 working. Still no idea on #1 and #2.
And a new one
4) How do you enable threading in mutt. My display isn't showing the little threading arrows for some reason. Dunno why..

Come on cactus!

two minutes of googling.
and for the opening a particular Mailbox, I found this in the manual
mutt -f /path/to/mailbox.
works good here.

phrakture!!!!
heh.
I am using folder-hook to set the from address header. I started using some muttrc i found off the net, and have been customizing it. It appears that I have been setting sort=threads globally, but the folder hook has it setting it to sort=date. aha!
By the way, folder-hook is great! I can set the from address based on which mbox file I am in! I was accidentally trying to use an mbox-hook to get the same results..thinking that it was a hook to which mbox file you were in..nope..it is which mbox file a mail is saved to! lol..
as for iphitus..i did google, and did find that ml thread. I was setting it globally, but the folder-hook was overriding it. As for opening up an mbox manually with a cli argument, I was hoping for a config value in .muttrc that would do it. I think I might have found it. I am going to try using the push command to force it to do a 'c' then the name of the mbox.

also, on your blog you mentioned displaying mime types... there's a "mailcap" file somewhere which handles that...

i got these two lines in my muttrc, maybe they're usefull.
set mbox=~/.mail/Inbox
set spoolfile=/var/mail/iphitus
been a while since ive used mutt tho...

Well, I added the following to my muttrc
push c?
And now mutt starts up in the directory listing straight away, without needing the '-y' flag.
yay!
