I've just begun using mutt (what started out as slowly stripping myself of GUI applications, ended up with me just being holed inside a terminal window), and while I've managed to fetch my mail from my IMAP server, there are some customizations I'd like to do, mainly:
Fetch today's mail.
Leave everything on server
Don't save anything ever on local disk
Don't ask if I want to create a
$USER/Mail
folder. Since I also have my regular mail client, mutt is just an easy way to check mail from the terminal.
Instead of just asking a question here, I thought I'd try to find out more about some cool tricks, color schemes, and config settings you guys might have, that I can use in mine.
Here's what I can think of re your customizations:
muttrc
, make sure to set yourfolder
variable correctly. If I remember correctly$USER/Mail
is the default value. If you set it correctly mutt won't ask you to create it every time you start it.And here are some excerpts from my mutt config:
And my color scheme:
Hope that helps!
