Play Fetch with Mutt and Maildirs
Mutt defaults to the mbox format. Tell it to use the Maildir format by adding the following to ~/.muttrc
set mbox_type=Maildir
These will set the default folders:
set folder=”~/Maildir/”
set mask=”!^\.[^.]”
set record=”+.Sent”
set postponed=”+.Drafts”
set mask=”!^\.[^.]”
set record=”+.Sent”
set postponed=”+.Drafts”
To open a specific Maildir:
mutt -f /full/path/to/Maildir
