 Posted: Wed Nov 06, 2002 3:51 am Post subject: mutt, procmail, and fetchmail |
 |
|
I am having some problems getting the 3 to work frienly. When procmail filters mail into a new folder(the first time i get mail) mutt says that it isn't a valid mailbox. My fcc-hook works fine and i can view the sent folder. AFAIK i am using maildir style mail directory's, i have mbox_type=Maildir set in my .muttrc and my mailbox is ~/.maildir
Another problem i am ahving is before when this did work none of my emails were marked as unread. Every single one was marked as read. having alot of email made it difficult to figure out which stuff i havent read yet, especially in long threads. Here are copy's of my .muttrc, .fetchmailrc, and .procmailrc
.muttrc

set folder=~/.maildir
set sendmail="/usr/bin/nbsmtp -d qwest.net -f snoogans@qwest.net -h pop.phnx.qwest.net"

Most of that i got from other peoples .muttrc's(like the colorizing) but i looked at all the options in the manual and set what i thought i needed/wanted
.fetchmailrc
| Code: |
poll pop.phnx.qwest.net with proto POP3 user snoogans password ******
user 'snoogans' there with password '******' is 'bob' here
mda "/usr/bin/procmail"
|
.procmailrc
| Code: |
VERBOSE=no
LOGFILE=$HOME/.pmlog
MAILDIR=$HOME/.maildir
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox

Hi
Try and use mda "procmail -d %T" in your .fetchmailrc.
That should work.

| I had it like that before and i thought maybee that was why the emails werent bgeing markes as unread. Any idea why it might be doing that? This is a huge problem it makes reading mail damn near impossible. |

Okay i have everything working fine now. i was using the wrong mailbox type. Have a new problem though. im using maildir type mailbox but when im in the folder view it doesn't show me when a folder has new messages in it. And yes it is set correctly in .muttrc. Does anyone know why? I would much appreciate it because as of right now this is my last problem with mutt  |
