fetchmail+procmail+mutt+evolution

Hi,

I know that someone in this ng will flame me, but I will post this
message anyway.

I use mutt on a regular basis, but some days ago when I got tons
of mail with attachments of all sorts I felt the need of a graphical
MUA. Of couse, I wanted it to be completely compatible with my
environment:

fetchmail+procmail+mutt

After googling around a little bit, I tried Ximian evolution.
It works perfectly with fetchmail+procmail+mutt. All flags
(old, unread, deleted) work in both ways.

I only have to figure out how to import the mutt aliases...

With my best regards

A. Russo

abook --convert

will do some handy conversion of alias files, such as dumping to vCards
that Evolution can read.

Thanks Peter. I tried, but abook --convert doesn't seem to support the
syntax

alias singers \
john <john@denver> \
elvis <elvis@presley> \
louis <louis@armstrong>

for aliasing many address...
