Package: vm
Version: 6.47-1

I use the following setting for mail boxes, with fetchmail delivering
into whatever.spool files:

(setq
 vm-primary-inbox "~/Mail/INBOX"
 vm-spool-file-suffixes '(".spool")
 vm-crash-box-suffix ".crash"
 vm-folder-directory "~/Mail/")

When using vm-visit-folder, I'm asked for a folder name, with
completion.  When a spool files exists, and the corresponding folder
is empty (ie. vm erased it), then TAB completion expands to the spool
file.

My opinion is that when building the completion list, vm should strip
vm-spool-file-suffixes from filenames.  This should probably be
controled by a user option, but the default behaviour should probably
to have spool files ignored, or mail can be lost if any program tries
to deliver into spool boxes.

Also, maybe vm should use liblockfile on user's folder too ?

Hi,

        vm should not implement its own file completion mechanisms, it
 should  really just use what emacs uses itself, and nothing has changed
 in the last 11 years. I am closing this report.
