Update: Reportedly, the following two lines were used
folder-hook +account1 unhook save-hook
folder-hook +account1 save-hook . +account1/INBOX
repeated for each account.
Mutt, as you know, is configured by .muttrc file.
Look at man muttrc, the patterns at all others is there. I also do not see a folder pattern there but searching for save I found elsewhere
Note that these expandos are supported in "save-hook", "fcc-hook" and "fcc-save-hook", too.
and above that
%b filename of the original message folder (think mailbox)
%B the list to which the letter was sent, or else the folder name (%b).
%O original save folder where mutt would formerly have stashed the message: list name or
recipient name if not sent to a list
Some of them could potentially be used, but I do not see in patterns any way how to match against a fixed string and not against the message.
Use can make procmail (or whatever is messing with your incoming mail) to add a custom header line and use -h to test for it.
I think your solution will be using
folder-hook [!]regexp command
When mutt enters a folder which matches regexp (or, when regexp is preceded by an exclamation
mark, does not match regexp), the given command is executed.
When several folder-hooks match a given mail folder, they are executed in the order given in
the configuration file.
May be something like
folder-hook account1 unhook *
folder-hook account1 save-hook ~A =account1/INBOX
or
folder-hook account1 save-hook ".*" =account1/INBOX
folder-hook ^=account1.* save-hook ........... ???
UPDATE: Reportedly, the following two lines were used as solution (and seem to work)
folder-hook +account1 unhook save-hook
folder-hook +account1 save-hook . +account1/INBOX
# repeated for each separate account
# Note: We know the documentation for folder-hook says "regexp", but using +account (for some given account) seems to work too for whatever reason
It is unlikely that the most recent save-hook take precedence, so
I added unhook (change it to unhook save-hook or whatever you test to work)
unhook [ * | hook-type ]
This command will remove all hooks of a given type, or all hooks when "*" is used as an argu-
ment. hook-type can be any of the -hook commands documented above.
The following info might be useful for other users who have simpler needs and somehow came to this page:
save_address
Type: boolean
Default: no
If set, mutt will take the sender's full address when choosing a default folder for saving a
mail. If $save_name or $force_name is set too, the selection of the Fcc folder will be changed
as well.
save_name
Type: boolean
Default: no
This variable controls how copies of outgoing messages are saved. When set, a check is made
to see if a mailbox specified by the recipient address exists (this is done by searching for a
mailbox in the $folder directory with the username part of the recipient address). If the
mailbox exists, the outgoing message will be saved to that mailbox, otherwise the message is
saved to the $record mailbox.
Also see the $force_name variable.
An example:
set save_address=yes
Please tell me and others how you solved the problem.
