My mutt cheat sheet

I am learning mutt and I am lost. If you are like me, you may like the following cheat sheet!

I am using it through imap, it may be different with local mailbox.

Case is important !

• Change folder : Y
• Filter the display : l (for limit) and then a filter like this
• _d <2w : _d for date and <2w for “less than 2 weeks” no space in <2w !
• _b “hello mate” : _b is for body and the string is something to find in the body
• _f somebody@zxy.abc : _f for from and you can make an expression
• _s “Urgent” : _s stands for subject and use a pattern
• Delete messages with filter : D with a filter, if you used limit before it will propose by default the filter of limit
• Delete a message : d (it will be marked as Deleted)

Deleted messages will be removed when you change the folder or if you exit. Pressing $ can do it manually.
