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.
