Retrieving POP mail
Hi, I'm new to mutt. I'd like to use it for my pop mail, but the only
way I can do that is by hitting c followed by the long string pop://....
Why can't I hit G and get the same effect? I think I set my .muttrc pop
settings correctly (see below), but hitting G downloads all the mail and
then gives me a blank screen (and when i hit j/k it says "There are no
messages"). Yet the mail definitely gets added into my spoolfile. What
am I missing? Should there be any difference between the two methods?
And where does all the mail get downloaded to when I use c? (If it
matters, I'm running the package distributed with cygwin on XP.) Thanks
in advance.
---.muttrc---
set realname = "OvErboRed"
set from = "publicNO@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
set pop_host = localhost:8110 # because I'm using SpamBayes
set pop_user = "publicNO@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
set pop_pass = asdf
set pop_delete = no # I need to leave my messages on the server
set spoolfile = "/home/overbored/Mail/inbox"
# not sure what these two values mean, just followed a tutorial
set mbox = "+received"
set record = "+sent"
set sendmail = "/usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe"
