In your .muttrc, you should look at: set delete=ask-yes # Ask to purge deleted messages, default yes set quit=ask-no # Ask to exit Mutt, default no set mark_old=no # Don't change New messages to Old I have mutt set up this way at work since I usually keep my mail open all the time. I want to be asked when I accidentally or intentionally try to quit. There are a whole bunch of these settings you should look at. There at lots of example .muttrc's on the mutt hope page. I could post parts of mine with explainations if anyone is interested. Nate
