Description: | |
I switched from a homemade script using mblaze to neomutt (after being | |
using mutt, alpine and mu4e) and it's difficult to remember everything. | |
So, let's do a cheatsheet! | |
- Mark as read: `Ctrl+R` | |
- Mark to delete: `d` | |
- Execute deletion: `$` | |
- Tag a mail: `t` | |
- Move a mail: `s` (for save, which is a copy + delete) | |
- Save a mail: `c` (for copy) | |
- Operation on tagged mails: ;[OP] with OP being the key for that | |
operation, like `;d` for deleting tagged emails or `;s` for moving them | |
### Operations on attachments | |
- Save to file: `s` | |
- Pipe to view as html: `|` and then `w3m -T text/html` | |
- Pipe to view as picture: `|` and then `feh -` | |
### Delete mails based on date | |
- use `T` to enter a date range, format [before]-[after] with | |
before/after being a DD/MM/YYYY format (YYYY is optional) | |
- `~d 24/04-` to mark mails after 24/04 of this year | |
- `~d -24/04` to mark mails before 24/04 of this year | |
- `~d 24/04-25/04` to mark mails between 24/04 and 25/04 (inclusive) | |
- `;d` to tell neomutt we want to delete marked mails | |
- `$` to make deletion happen | |
### Simple config | |
Here is a simple config I've built to get Neomutt usable for me. | |
``` | |
set realname = "Jane Doe" | |
set from = "[email protected]" | |
set smtp_url = "smtps://[email protected]:465" | |
alias me Jane Doe <[email protected]> | |
set folder = "imaps://[email protected]:993" | |
set imap_user = "login" | |
set header_cache = /home/solene/.cache/neomutt/jane/headers | |
set message_cachedir = /home/solene/.cache/neomutt/jane/bodies | |
set imap_pass = "xx" | |
set smtp_pass = "xx" | |
set imap_idle = yes # IMAP push (supposed to work) | |
set mbox_type = Maildir | |
set ssl_starttls = yes | |
set ssl_force_tls = yes | |
set spoolfile = "+INBOX" | |
set record = "+Sent" | |
set postponed = "+Drafts" | |
set trash = "+Trash" | |
set imap_list_subscribed = yes | |
set imap_check_subscribed | |
#sidebar | |
set sidebar_visible | |
set sidebar_format = "%B%?F? [%F]?%* %?N?%N/?%S" | |
set mail_check_stats | |
bind index,pager \Cp sidebar-prev # Ctrl-Shift-p - Previous Mailbox | |
bind index,pager \Cn sidebar-next # Ctrl-Shift-n - Next Mailbox | |
bind index,pager \Ca sidebar-open # Ctrl-Shift-a - Open Highlighted Mai… | |
bind index "," imap-fetch-mail # , - Get new emails | |
bind index,pager "N" next-unread-mailbox # Jump to next unread email | |
# regroup by threads | |
set sort=threads | |
# display only interesting headers | |
ignore * | |
unignore from date subject to cc | |
unignore organization organisation x-mailer: x-newsreader: x-mailing-list: | |
unignore posted-to: | |
