Folders, Sorting, SSH

[wishi <brouce@xxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I'm going to use mutt as MUA... but I'm new here, and so I have got 3 
questions. Hopefully, it's possible:


1. I'm using mailing lists, and a key-feature of mutt, I think, is the 
thread sorting, that comes in very handy. (Really, thanks for this 
live-changing option! :))

Can I sort mailing lists into separate folders, too?
- I found the list command... but it's not sorting my stuff at all.

I. e. I'm on the list foo@xxxxxxx and the subject is always [bar]. Is 
there any sorting feature to put the eMails into local folders? Sorted 
by sender or subject?


2. I want to use mutt's pop and imap features, but mutt itself doesn't 
provide any spam filtering, does it?
- Would be perfect, if I could mark eMails being spam and filter them 
with spamassasin or so, to see as little spam as possible.

With an external MRA this is possible:
I tried to setup fetchmail, but it's really slow and my third problem 
is, I'd like to tunnel the incoming mail transfers through an ssh 
tunnel. fetchmail has a --plugin option, but I didn't understand the 
documentation.

So I searched for alternative options, found getmail.
My python doesn't have SSL support - so I can't use getmail - like I want.
So, does anybody know how to get SSL support for getmail with python; or 
a direct spam-filtering option into mutt? (Two things one aim)
Could be really helpful.


3. I'm using a proxy to encrypt traffic via ssh.

Normally, I'm starting a Socks5 proxy with ssh -D, and making all 
requests through this tunnel. mutt itself, which is another key-feature 
I like, is extremely portable, and I could use it at my server directly. 
But if I just want to use mutt locally at my machine here, and sending 
through an ssh-tunnel, is this possible, too? I'd prefer to keep logins 
and mails locally, and just using a tunnel.
I tryed dsocks and tsocks... doesn't work... so I'm looking for 
something built into mutt, that makes it using a Socks to connect...


Thanks a lot,
Marius
