    copied!<p><strong>Here's what I can think of re your customizations:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Not sure how you'd be able to achieve that, if you switch to a folder in IMAP mutt will fetch all the headers of that folder. It will only fetch a mail once you open it tough.</li> <li>Since you are using IMAP, mutt should leave everything on the server by default anyway. It will only delete something if you specifically request deletion. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to achieve?</li> <li>That should be possible by disabling the local cache. There's a header and a message cache. See <a href="http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#header-cache" rel="nofollow noreferrer">header-cache</a> and <a href="http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#message-cachedir" rel="nofollow noreferrer">message-cachedir</a> for more info. But note that disabling the caches will hurt the performance, because every time you switch a directory mutt will have to re-fetch the headers for all your messages.</li> <li>In your <code>muttrc</code>, make sure to set your <code>folder</code> variable correctly. If I remember correctly <code>$USER/Mail</code> is the default value. If you set it correctly mutt won't ask you to create it every time you start it.</li> </ol> <hr> <p><strong>And here are some excerpts from my mutt config:</strong></p> <pre><code>set postpone=ask-no set beep_new=yes set confirmappend=no set sort=threads set mail_check=60 set timeout=10 set net_inc=5 set move=no set sort_alias=alias set reverse_alias=yes set alias_file=~/.mail_aliases set editor='vim + -c "set textwidth=72" -c "set wrap"' set header_cache=~/.mutt/cache/headers set message_cachedir=~/.mutt/cache/bodies set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates auto_view text/html application/pdf application/msword alternative_order text/plain text text/enriched text/html mime_lookup application/octet-stream source $alias_file set mbox_type=maildir set ssl_starttls=yes set folder=imaps://host:port set spoolfile="+inbox" set record="+sent/`date +%Y-%m`" set postponed="+drafts" ignore * unignore Date To Cc Bcc From Subject X-Mailer Organization User-Agent X-PGP-Key List-Id hdr_order Date From To Cc Bcc Subject X-Mailer User-Agent Organization List-Id X-PGP-Key </code></pre> <p>And my color scheme:</p> <pre><code># Default color definitions color normal white default color hdrdefault green default color quoted green default color quoted1 yellow default color quoted2 red default color signature cyan default color indicator brightyellow red color error brightred default color status brightwhite blue color tree brightmagenta default color tilde brightblue default color attachment brightyellow magenta color markers brightred default color message white default color search brightwhite magenta color bold brightyellow green # Color definitions when on a mono screen mono bold bold mono underline underline mono indicator reverse mono error bold # Colors for items in the reader color header brightyellow default "^(From|Subject):" color header brightcyan default ^To: color header brightcyan default ^Cc: mono header bold "^(From|Subject):" </code></pre> <p>Hope that helps!</p>
