  • mutt “: unknown command”

    Long time ago I receive some mutt errors on startup

    : unknown command

    … mutt working successful so i didn’t spend much time on this problem. After checking my config file i’ve found the problem, there are trailing spaces behind the backslashes (‘\’) at the end of the lines. After removing this spaces everything looks fine :-)

    Some Information could be found in the mutt wiki.

  • Mutt move mails by pattern

    In mutt it isn’t so easy to move mails by pattern because the best solution is to move mails not in the mail client but with procmail or mailfilter. Here is a solution that works also in mutt:

    Tag all mails by specific pattern:
    Limit the mails that are displayed.

    L


    Tag messages matching a pattern.

    T


    Move all taged mails to destination:

    s =INBOX.dest.here
