1.2.5.1 include:
- Better mh support: Mutt now supports .mh_sequences files.
Currently, the "unseen", "flagged", and "replied" sequences are
used to store mutt flags (the names are configurable using the
$mh_seq_unseen, $mh_seq_flagged, and $mh_seq_replied configuration
variables). As a side effect, messages in MH folders are no longer
rewritten upon status changes.
- The "trashed" flag is supported for maildir folders. See
$maildir_trash.
- POP folder support. You can now access a POP mailbox just like an
IMAP folder (with obvious restrictions due to the protocol).
- URL syntax for remote folders. You can pass things like
pop://account@host and imap://account@host/folder as arguments for
the -f command line flag.
- STARTTLS support. If $ssl_starttls is set (the default), mutt
will attempt to use STARTTLS on servers advertising that
capability.
- $preconnect. If set, a shell command to be executed if mutt fails
to establish a connection to the server. This is useful for
setting up secure connections; see the muttrc(5) for details.
- $tunnel. Use a pipe to a command instead of a raw socket. See
muttrc(5) for details. (Basically, it's another way for setting
up secure connections.)
- More new IMAP/POP-related variables (see muttrc(5) for details):
$connect_timeout, $imap_authenticators, $imap_delim_chars,
$imap_peek, $pop_authenticators, $pop_auth_try_all,
$pop_checkinterval, $pop_delete, $pop_reconnect, $use_ipv6.
- The following IMAP/POP-related variables are gone:
$imap_checkinterval, $imap_cramkey, $pop_port.
- There's a new imap-fetch-mail function, which forces a check for
new messages on an IMAP server.
- The new-mailbox function was renamed to create-mailbox, and is
bound to C instead of n by default.
