Configure your MTA to use procmail for delivery. And configure procmail
to put your messages wherever your like them to be.

What I'm straggling with is what to put in .fetchmailrc to get the mail out 
(the is no password)

fetchmail is used to receive mail, not to send it. You can put a
password into .fetchmailrc or into .netrc.

It sounds like you may be confusing different functions. Can you 
explain exactly what you're trying to do?

Two problems - sorting index +

I would like to solve two problems.

1.) I have noticed on your mailing list when I hit the index I see:
-----
  2   F 09/22/07 23:06 To mutt-users <at> m (4.2K) 
  3  s  09/23/07 01:13 Kyle Wheeler    (2.2K) 
  4     09/23/07 02:40 Stefano Sabatin (3.0K)
-----

The mail #2 is from me: "To mutt-user <at> m" and all other emails I see have the names in them, which variable it is 
controlled by, is it by header or index display?

My header:
# Customized headers
unmy_hdr * # remove all extra headers first.

set from="my_email_address" #set to your from address
set realname="Joseph" # My real name, for the From line
set use_from=yes
set use_envelope_from=yes

2.) Sorting index
I have settings:
# Folder Hooks
folder-hook . set sort=reverse-date-sent        #default sort

When I open mutt it displays latest message at the top and that is what I want.
However, when I hit "o" to sort it in any other way, eg: by thread; and I hit "d" for date they are sorted by 
ascending order.  How do I go back do descending sort order.

On my system all local mail: from root, warnings from UPS, hylafax are being forwarded to me: joseph
so I have a mail box in /var/mail/joseph
In evolution all I had to do is to configure it to pull mail as: "local delivery" and magically all these
emails 
were being forwarded to me.

But there is no such magic in mutt :-/ I need to figure it out how to do it on manually; to pull mail from: 
/var/mail/joseph (it is an mbox) to ~/.maildir (my local folder) procmail will take care of the sorting to
deliver 
it my "inbox" but I think I need to instruct the fetchmail to get that mail.
I'm familiar with:
formail -s procmail < /var/mail/joseph

'o' sorts in ascending order, 'O' sorts in descending order. :)

The mutt way to do this is to tell mutt where your system mail is 
located:

set spoolfile=/var/mail/joseph
mailboxes /var/mail/joseph

and your normal inbox will appear in the mailbox list. No need to
go to the effort of moving it somewhere else.

Thanks for the hint, I never thought about it, that you can display mbox and mailbox at the same time.
Oh well, we always learn something new and simple :-)

Mutt and and IMAP Folders (Namespaces / Prefixes)

Hi,

I intend to use mutt in the feature for reading/writing emails. However,
besides some defaults that seem strange to me, it is good. But I am
experiencing problems with IMAP.

Scenario:
Our companies imap server is a dovecot imap server, migrated from an earlier
courier imap. So this one has an INBOX. prefix before each folder. Thats
annoying, but it is.

So now the question is: How to setup mutt, so that working with this is
posssible efficient?

Configuration in .muttrc:
set imap_user = XXXXX
set imap_pass = XXXXX
set folder = imap://user <at> host/INBOX.
set spoolfile = imap://user <at> host/INBOX
set record = imap://user <at> host/INBOX.Sent
set postponed = imap://user <at> host/INBOX.Drafts

This configuration works so far, that I can change to folders via 'c'.
If i remove the point at the end of set folder I cannot see any folder except
INBOX. Not working are the shorthand to call e.g.
INBOX.Mailinglisten.mutt-users by =Mailinglisten.mutt-users.
I could really need this to work with my folder structure. So can somebody give me a
hint on how to fix this? Is this fixable at all?
If possible I would like to avoid the use of an imap syncer.
