Yup, 8,000 messages delivered directly to the trash upon arrival, and another 2,000 detained as likely spam. 1,400 messages deemed legitimate and routed to my mailbox. A lot of those are boring stuff like cron output and legitimate commercial e-mailings and news notifications and whatnot. I don’t actually have folks writing me 2,000 messages every few weeks.
You can also see a shift from mbox to Maildir. I’ve found that Thunderbird isn’t a bad e-mail client for offline, but Courier IMAP requires Maildir, so Maildir I use.
So, just in case this ends up in someone’s search, I’ll share the Thunderbird-Maildir portion of my .muttrc:
# Courier-imapd compatability # Where does mutt look for subfolders? set folder=$HOME/Maildir/ # Subfolders begin with '.' -- default value excludes these set mask="^." # Where do we store our ingoing / outgoing messages? send-hook . "set record=$HOME/Maildir/.archive-`date +%Y-%m`/" save-hook . =.archive-`date +%Y-%m`/ # This is compatible with Phoenix "Drafts" folder set postponed=$HOME/Maildir/.Drafts # Mailboxes mailboxes ! =.IN.tuna =.spam
