NILI 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.

• Note: case is important*

• Change folder : Y

• Filter the display with l (for limit) and give a filter using this syntax:

• ~d <2w: ~d for date and <2w for "less than 2 weeks"

• ~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 for subject and use a pattern

• ; to apply a tag to marked messages

• Deleting mails using a filter: press D and write the filter

• Delete a mail: d (it will be marked as Deleted)

Deleted messages will be removed when you change the folder or if you exit. Press $ to trigger manually.
