Now that I seem to have the basics of mutt working with the Courier
IMAP server I have some more questions/comments about how mutt works
with IMAP.
1 - I have the following in my muttrc file:-
set folder={x-1.net:50143}
set spoolfile={x-1.net:50143}inbox
A 'c' followed by a !' takes me to the inbox as one would expect,
however if I go down the hierarchy from inbox (which is where
Courier IMAP keeps its sub-folders) then I can't navigate back up
for some reason. E.g. if I enter a 'c' and then select INBOX.
I get to a display as follows:-
-> 1 IMAP ../
2 IMAP Trash
3 IMAP friends
4 IMAP isbd
5 IMAP sam
6 IMAP subdir.
7 IMAP test
But selecting the .. just produces the same display again, it
doesn't take me back up to INBOX. Entering the full name of the
INBOX or ! works OK.
Is this a problem with mutt, Courier IMAP, or my configuration?
2 - I'm really confused by that subdir. in the above list. I created
it by hitting 'N' after saving a message. The folder name I
entered was {x-1.net:50143}INBOX.subdir.david. When viewed
remotely this appears as expected, a folder david can be found in
subdir. However on the server system itself there is actually a
maildir directory called ~/Mail/inbox/subdir.david. I suppose
this is just a quirk of the way that Courier IMAP works but it's
confusing to say the least.
Navigating up from the subdir folder using .. *does* work by the
way.
3 - Is there any way to get mutt in *non-IMAP* mode to 'see'
maildir directories starting with a '.'? This would allow mutt
running locally here to share the Courier IMAP maildirs (which is
what I really want to do). I suppose I could get the local mutt
to connect to the IMAP server, that would solve the problem. The
only problem then is to get maildrop or procmail to deliver
messages to the Courier IMAP style maildirs.
