I want to retrieve messages from a POP3 mailbox and move them into folders (using Mutt's pattern recognition expression operator
"~C") depending upon their To: or Cc: headers.
N.B. I don't want to read the messages before they are moved. I want them moved into separate folders, so that I can switch to those
folders to read the messages.
Once they have been moved into such folders, I don't want them moved again.
Can somebody please tell me what I should set up to do this? I have been lead to believe that I can use a macro to switch the
"spoolfile", use the 'G' <fetch-mail> command then switch the spoolfile back to $MAIL, however, I don't really understand what I
should set "spoolfile", "mbox" to. I thought I could maybe use "save-hook"s to do this, but the documentation is not very helpful on
these, for simple-minds like mine.
What I want is:
+mutt
+cygwin
+mbox
I want all messages downloaded from the POP3 server to go into +mbox, but those matching "~C *cygwin*" to go into +cygwin and those
matching "~C *mutt*" to go into +mutt. I want the messages moved before I read them.
