However, as most if not -all mutt users will tell you, once you've got the hang of it, no other mail -client can come close to matching the efficiency and speed of command line mail -(or any thing else in command line for the most part). I recently started -using mutt myself and just can't get over how efficient it is once you've got -your configuration sorted out. Yesterday I easily cleaned out 800 emails in -about five minutes using some very simple search terms (and no I didn't just -delete randomly 800 emails). Unlike the title of this post implies though, I -am not amazing with mutt, but what I do know, however, can get me around very -quickly. Here's what I use nearly every day. - - -[[tags]] -=== Tags - -Mutt supports this neat thing called tagging. It's basically the command line -equivelant of multiselect (ctrl+click or shift+click). - -**To tag a message**, move the cursor to it and hit the _t_ key. - -**To tag a group of emails based on a pattern**, for example "Change Requests", -hit capital __T__. You will see at the bottom of your mutt window __Tag -messages matching:__. Type your tag term, hit enter, and you should see several -highlighted messages now. - -Finally, **to peform an action on all tagged messages**, preceed the command -letter (s for save/move, d for delete, N for new, etc) with a semicolon ( ; ). -For instance, do delete all tagged messages, type __;d__. - - -[[limit-filter]] -=== Limit (Filter) - -In mutt, you can do this really cool (though not novel in the slightest) thing -wherein you filter the displayed messages by a regular expression. You don't -have to use a regular expression of course, but never the less it can be done. - -**To limit/filter the currently displayed emails**, head over to a directory -you want to get a better filtered look at and press the _l_ key. You will see -at the bottom of your mutt window ''Limit to messages matching: ''. Type -whatever you want to limit to. - -Note here though that limit by default only searches mail meta data unless -otherwise specified. This makes searches go much faster since most of the time -you're just cleaning up your inbox by subject, receivers, and date. If you do -want to search the body of your emails, preceed your search term with __~B__, -and mutt will go the extra mile and search email bodies for you. - - -Category:Linux - - -// vim: set syntax=asciidoc: |
