The following is what I've got in my .muttrc. It works to connect me to the IMAP server when mutt starts up. I got the info to set this up somewhere off the mutt.org site. stanlee is my username, webmail is the name of the IMAP server and /vol.mail/stanlee/Archives is where I archive my mail on webmail. set spoolfile="{webmail}INBOX" set imap_user="stanlee" set imap_home_namespace="{webmail}/vol.mail/stanlee/Archives" set folder="{webmail}/vol.mail/stanlee/Archives" HTH, Eric On Tue, Dec 11, 2001 at 10:29:35AM -0000, Joseph Key wrote: > mutt will do IMAP. > > My question is how do you get mutt to start with the IMAP server selected > instead of the local mail file.
