Hi,
I've just updated mew to 2.2 and I cannot workout how to get some
functionality that I had working with the old version (1.94.1) and
with MH.
I use MH's slocal util (procmail would do too I expect) to pre-sort
incoming mail into various maildrops. These are ~/Mail/*/in
ie. for the folder +netbsd there is a maildrop ~/Mail/netbsd/in
+backup has a maildrop of ~/Mail/backup/in
With MH I simply use a lisp fuction (my-mh-inc-folder) that runs inc
with args to have it use the correct maildrop for each folder.
With the old version of mew, I had an Imget.Assoc that looked like:
Imget.Assoc= +inbox=local:${HOME}/Maildir/;+inbox=local:${MAIL};\
+backup=local:${HOME}/Mail/backup/indir/;+backup=local:${HOME}/Mail/back
up/in;\
...
which worked ok - though it had the disadvantage of always retrieving
for all folders each time it was run.
With version 2.2 I've played with mew-config-alist (perhaps
incorrectly) but I couldn't get incm to look at the per-folder
maildrops. FWIW I had:
(setq mew-config-alist
'(
("backup"
("inbox-folder" . "+backup")
("mbox-command-arg" . "-d ~/Mail/backup/in"))
...
))
Is it possible to do what I want and I'm just not looking in the right
place?
Thanks
