I just got a new ISP and this is the first time I use mutt in "IMAP

The command I use to read my e-mail is from the tcsh is:

% mutt -f \{mail\}

However, I cannot figure out how to insert that line in my .cshrc file.
This is what I need:

alias mutt mutt -f {mail}

Thanks,

alias mutt "mutt -f {mail}"

You were very close Mark. You made me remember how to do it:

alias mutt "mutt -f \{mail\}"

Thanks!

Why do you need the { } anyway? The mutt man page says:

mutt [-f file]

so if your mail file is /var/mail/username
why doesn't it work to just do:

alias mutt "mutt -f /var/mail/username"
??

Hi Mark:

The mailbox is in a host and my shell account in another. The braces
tell mutt to go in "IMAP mode" and open a network connection to the
remote host where the mailbox resides.
