為什么是mutt？ 為什么mutt需要那么多其他工具才能完成郵件處理？你應該看看王垠的介紹：

本文只雜亂談一下我的配置經驗
先說說~/.muttrc幾個基本問題，
1.建立郵箱，mutt的郵箱有兩種，一種是單文件（所有郵件放到一個文件里），另一種是mail dir形式，后一種目錄形式比較好，推薦使用。

## folder & spool
set spoolfile = ~/Mail/inbox
set folder????= ~/Mail
set tmpdir????= ~/.mutt/tmp

set mbox_type = Maildir
set mbox??????= +inbox
set record????= +sent
set postponed = +postponed

mailboxes \
$MAIL \
=inbox \
=junkmail \
=favorites \
=archive

在mailboxes行里，可以定義自己想建立的郵箱，如favorites, archive, junkmail等。

2.編碼問題

# locale
set charset = UTF-8
set locale??= zh_CN.UTF-8
# hook charset
charset-hook !UTF-8 gbk
charset-hook "^us-ascii$" "utf-8"
# send charset
set send_charset="us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8:gbk"
set rfc2047_parameters=yes

charset-hook里設置里非utf-8郵件使用gbk查看

3.增加垃圾箱，雖然不是很完善
#trash
folder-hook . 'macro index d "s$folder/trash\r"'
folder-hook $folder/trash 'bind index d delete-message'
4.排序
#sort
set sort = reverse-date
set sort_aux = threads
5.快捷鍵，
我是這樣設置的
#key binding getmail
macro index????G "!~/.getmail/getmail\n"?? "Invoke getmail"
macro pager????G "!~/.getmail/getmail\n"?? "Invoke getmail"

#enter mailbox
macro index??A??"c=archive\r"
macro pager??A??"c=archive\r"
macro index??I??"c!\n" "Go to Inbox"
macro pager??I??"c!\n" "Go to Inbox"
macro index??F????"c=favorites\r"
macro pager??F????"c=favorites\r"
macro index??J??"c=junkmail\r"
macro pager??J??"c=junkmail\r"
前面一部分是收郵件（getmail）,快捷鍵是shift+g，（參見下面getmail配置）
后面一部分是進入各個郵箱的快捷鍵。

6.多賬號發送問題，方法是通過判斷來信郵件頭來選擇，局限是只能在回信時自動選擇。
以下是完整的發信部分設置
#send hook
send-hook . 'my_hdr from:dream7180@gmail.com'
send-hook . 'set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"'
reply-hook . 'my_hdr reply-to:dream7180@gmail.com'

send-hook '~t .*@163\.com$' 'my_hdr from:dreamawake@163.com'
send-hook '~t .*@163\.com$' 'my_hdr reply-to:dreamawake@163.com'
send-hook '~t .*@163\.com$' 'set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp -a 163"'

reply-hook '~t .*@163\.com$' 'my_hdr from:dreamawake@163.com'
reply-hook '~t .*@163\.com$' 'my_hdr reply-to:dreamawake@163.com'
reply-hook '~t .*@163\.com$' 'set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp -a 163"'

前面一段是默認的賬號，后面兩段是用163賬號來發送（后面提到msmtp的配置）。

msmtp的配置：
defaults
tls on
auth on
tls_certcheck off
logfile ~/.msmtplog

# Gmail service
account gmail
host smtp.gmail.com
from [email]dream7180@gmail.com[/email]
port 587
user [email]dream7180@gmail.com[/email]
password xxxxxx

# 163 service
account 163
tls off
auth plain
host smtp.163.com
from [email]dreamawake@163.com[/email]
user [email]dreamawake@163.com[/email]
password xxxxxx

# Set a default account
account default : gmail這里就定義了發送的賬號，包括gmail和163

getmail的配置
對多賬號來說，getmail比fetchmail配置要復雜，但感覺收郵件的表現getmail比fetchmail要好。
多賬號配置，首先建立~/.getmail目錄，編寫~/.getmail/getmailrc.163文件：
[retriever]
type = SimplePOP3Retriever
server = pop.163.com
username = [email]dreamawake@163.com[/email]
password = xxxxxx

[destination]
type = Maildir
path = ~/Mail/inbox/

[options]
verbose = 0
delete = false
message_log = ~/.getmail/getmail.log
諸如此類，編寫~/.getmail/getmailrc.gmail文件

[retriever]
type = SimplePOP3SSLRetriever
server = pop.gmail.com
port = 995
username = [email]dream7180@gmail.com[/email]
password = xxxxxx

[destination]
type = Maildir
path = ~/Mail/inbox/

[options]
verbose = 0
delete = false
message_log = ~/.getmail/getmail.log
你可以寫更多.....

然后寫一個收郵件的腳本文件~/.getmail/getmail
#!/bin/bash
#getmail for dream
getmail -v -n -r ~/.getmail/getmailrc.sina -r ~/.getmail/getmailrc.163 -r ~/.getmail/getmailrc.gmail
注意把它設為可運行（+x)。
于是有了上面.muttrc里快捷鍵收郵件那部分配置。

附上我完整的~/.muttrc以供參考
