Hello,
I want to use cli email client and I have decided to try mutt. Now, I can send email using mutt with msmtp but I cannot recieve any. I got fetchmail to work successfully but I do not know if procmail actually worked or mutt cannot get anything from procmail.
Here's my 2 config files from mutt and procmail. Notice: I used -k for fetchmail because I don't want to lose any email if I mess up with mutt. I'll remove it when I'm more comfortable using mutt. ;)
procmailrc:
MAILDIR=$HOME/MuttMail ##you better make sure it exists
LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmaillog
LOGABSTRACT=no
#VERBOSE=on...is only used for debugging
VERBOSE=off
FORMAIL=/usr/pkg/bin/formail

Is procmail or mutt supposed to create mailboxes for netbsd stuff or am I supposed to do that? (create files or directories in MuttMail directory?)
