This is what I use, configuring fdm to retrieve mail from pop3/imap is easy.. the manual is very simple to understand.
Configuring mutt is out of scope for any tutorial. |

@BSDfan666
I have no doupt about fdm, before I posted I searched and found this I thought there is more todo. @Oko so you're saying all I do not need fdm any more ? |

If you want, you can start by customizing my mutt config:
http://hg.bsdroot.lv/aldis/dot.mutt/ Here's howto setup postfix relay: https://wiki.bsdroot.lv/postfix:relay Not sure how good it works, because, as always, I wrote it from my memory, after I configured my desktop pc to relay mail via my mailserver. Probably next time, I lose my postfix config, I will fix bugs if any.... Or you can give me feedback (no much hopes, I will jump in and fix and help with everything, since I'm pretty dam busy right now, but it never hurts) You can report wiki bugs @ https://bugs.bsdroot.lv/ |

Thanks man, yet another config to look at. if it's true about mutt being a stop for all, then I 'll be starting right away |

I digged it a bit
my four mails are two IMAPS, two POP's
how ever I can make them all IMAP if it's going to make my life more easy. still the main question remains and this go's to *Oko* I do not really need _fdm_ with mutt any more? please explain more. |

There is a very good tutorial on multi-accounts in mutt but I lost the link months ago. Pretty much, it's a source it war.

http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...y?answer=77695 The only annoyance with Gmail is that when you delete messages they do not get expunged because they are still kept in the stupid Allmail folder. That is the only violation to honest IMAP protocol by Gmail that I am aware of. The work around is very simple. I use Heirloom mailx and use command mv (move) to move messages to trash (which is alias for Gmail/Trash) Code:
shortcut trash +[Gmail]/Trash Code:
account gmail { set folder=imaps://my_user_name@imap.gmail.com set imap-use-starttls set password-my_user_name@imap.gmail.com="password" set record=+Sent MBOX=+mbox outfolder set smtp="smtp.gmail.com:587" set from="My Name <my_user_name@gmail.com>" set smtp-use-starttls set smtp-auth="login" set smtp-auth-user=my_user_name set smtp-auth-password="password" # IMAP SHORTCUTS SECTION for standard Gmail folders shortcut allmail +[Gmail]/All\ Mail shortcut spam +[Gmail]/Spam shortcut trash +[Gmail]/Trash } account hotmail { set MAIL=pop3s://my_user_name@hotmail.com@pop3.live.com set pop3-use-starttls set password-my_user_name@hotmail.com@pop3.live.com="password" set smtp="smtp.live.com:25" set from="My Name <my_user_name@hotmail.com>" set smtp-use-starttls set smtp-auth="login" set smtp-auth-user=my_user_name@hotmail.com set smtp-auth-password="password" # POP3 ACCT SHORTCUTS SECTION nail -f <account> shortcut hotmail pop3s://my_user_name@hotmail.com@pop3.live.com } # Binary options set askattach set askcc set autocollapse set autothread set emptystart # String Options set imap-keepalive=240 set imap-list-depth=5 set pop3-keepalive=30 # Reading HTML mail set pipe-text/html="lynx -dump -force_html /dev/stdin" # Address Book alias my_friend my_friend@gmail.com Last edited by Oko; 12th May 2011 at 04:08 PM. |

There are some advantages to using fdm Oko, it was written by the same guy who wrote tmux.. it has advanced filtering capabilities and a syntax that could be loosely compared to OpenBSD's pf.
According to documentation, mutt's imap/pop3 capabilities lack the ability to retrieve and store copies of the mail locally. Also, the stigma attached to pop3 is quite annoying.. the protocol has a fairly decent design and imap isn't the best solution for everyone. |

(Mutt is a MUA and should do nothing less, nothing more). I kind a liked that approach even that I am in violation by using Heirlom Mailx. Last edited by Oko; 12th May 2011 at 04:09 PM. |

nice, I forgot why I posted in the first place! so which it gonna be? I switched to IMAP for my gmail accounts, now it's all IMAP |
|

heirloom mailx
I guess a "Hairloom" is either a little typo, or else it's a machine used to make a "hair shirt" ? |
|

@IdOp
Thanks man so mailx==nail==mutt? so which do I need? I was expecting this thread to be about mutt alone |
|

Not really. mailx and nail have a close relationship, you'll have to read the History link at the heirloom mailx site to get an idea of how they're entangled. mutt is a completely different beast.
