Mutt isn't designed with the concept of folders in mind. It merely acknowledges the concept because the mails need to be stored /somewhere/. There isn't much I could elaborate. I was told mutt can be configured to make it less awkward to use with imap and I never bothered to figure out how to do that because I never really used it with imap because mutt is so awkward to use with imap :) I'm not really using imap anyway, and if I need it for some reason, I use seamonkey. Now if I seriously wanted to use imap, I'd set up gnus for it. And I'm not using gmail, either. -- Debian testing iad96 brokenarch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
