several pop3 accounts / subfolders

Hi

I am new with mutt. I studied the docs for 2 days and before I fully switch to 
mutt I have the following 2 questions:

1)
How do I specify several pop3 accounts and store the mails of each account 
into a separate folder?

2)
Does mutt support subfolders - if yes, how do I have to specify that?

Thanks very much for your help.

It's better to think of mutt as a "mail browser" than to think of it 
like other mail clients. With one exception, it doesn't automatically 
pull mail from a list of places (such as all your email accounts) and 
store it in other places (such as all your local folders). There are 
great dedicated tools for doing that (e.g. fetchmail or getmail). 
Instead, mutt just lets you look at what mail is stored in specific 
places, and manipulate it. So, for example, you can see what's on your 
POP3 servers, and you can look at as many as you like (just press c to 
tell mutt that you wish to look at a different pop3 account). Mutt 
doesn't "fetch" that email and store it locally unless you select 
messages on that pop3 server and tell mutt to save them somewhere else 
(locally, for example).

The one exception is that mutt allows you to define a $spoolfile, 
which is a mailbox (filename or IMAP or POP3 mailbox) that will be 
taken from and added to $mbox. But there can be only one $spoolfile.

Absolutely it does. And you specify it however is necessary for the 
storage you're browsing. Again, think of it as a browser rather than a 
command-line version of Outlook. If you tell it "mail is here", that's 
where mutt will look. So if you store your email in ~/mail with

see fetchmail(1) and procmail(1), and again mutt(1) :-)

see also postfix(1) and filtermail(1).

You may need a bit more than 2 days :-) but you will not regret it.

what happened?

Testing to see if I receive this ... I haven't received any messages from the mutt list since Oct 30, even
though the archives show that there's been some activity.  Does my list subscription expire or something?

Most often the terminal library is to blame for that, and/or a bad
interaction between $TERM and the terminal.

get "Message not modified!" when I try to edit a msg

In mutt 1.5.10 when from either mutt's index or pager I press "e" to
edit a message, the screen blinks and I see the error message "Message
not modified!"

What do I need to do to be able to be put into my editor to edit
a message (as always happened before) ?

          If everything seems to be going well you
            have obviously overlooked something.

no "linea" hdr after editing msg

In mutt-1.4.2.3 (used on a different ISP than where I use mutt-1.5.10),
if I edit a message, the "lines" header is lost, leaving the lines
number in the index at zero.

I do have the following in 1.4.2.3's .procmailrc file:

# Generate a "Lines:" header (needed for maildir mailbox
# format) using procmail's scoring mechanism.  Only
# message-body lines are counted (not the headers):

:0 Bfhw
* -1^0
* 1^1 ^.*$
|formail -I"Lines: $="

Though I no longer have this in the .procmailrc I use with mutt-1.5.10,
I forget why (not needed anymore?).

How can I edit a message and keep a (now changed) lines header?

There's been no deliberate change to this behavior that I know of.

What is your 'editor' variable set to?
