I'm still finding the way that the change-folder command works a
little confusing and not suited to moving back and forth between local
and IMAP folders. I have found a number of what seem to me to be
oddities (or should they be called features!) :-
1 - If I hit 'c' and then enter '{x-1.net}INBOX.' shouldn't I get the
*index* of folders on my IMAP server? What actually happens is
that mutt opens the INBOX folder itself, exactly the same as it
does when I enter '{x-1.net}INBOX'.
Is this a symptom of mutt (or the IMAP support) not being able to
handle folders which have both mailboxes and other folders in
them?
2 - In general how does one get to browse folders on an IMAP server?
I.e. how do I get to browse the sub-folders in {x-1.net}INBOX.buying?
When I enter 'c' followed by '{x-1.net}INBOX.buying' I get to see
an index of the mail messages in INBOX.buying.
When I enter 'c' followed by '{x-1.net}INBOX.buying.' I get an
'Invalid mailbox' error message.
3 - What folder_format field can I use to display the 'IMAP' or
'IMAP+' column that appears if you leave the default? I like the
'clean' IMAP defaults but would like the local index display to be
similar. I used 'set folder_format="%N %7s %f"' before but
this loses the IMAP/IMAP+.
4 - If I do 'set folder={x-1.net:50143}' then I *can* browse folders
on the IMAP server but I don't get to see messages in folders
which also have sub-folders. I can only get to see the messages
in the folder by hitting ' '.
5 - I can't reproduce this problem now but it definitely happened
once. I'll keep trying to find what causes it.
After looking at some E-Mail messages on the IMAP server and
moving around on the IMAP server a bit I found that 'c!' no longer
worked, it claimed my local mailbox was Invalid. I only got back
by 'c=..' and navigating from there.
