Greetings, Sorry this is a tad on the long side. I tried to condense it as much as I possibly could.
I'm trying to configure mutt (1.5.20, running on Fedora 13) to use multiple IMAP accounts gracefully, but the "folder" variable doesn't seem to be getting set correctly, despite following the suggestions in the mutt manual (Chapter 6, Section 6, "Managing Multiple Accounts"). The aforementioned manual section states To manage multiple accounts ..., folder-hook has to be used together with the mailboxes command. (and gives some sample .muttrc code), and it promises that Each folder-hook triggers when one mailbox below each IMAP account is opened and sets $folder to the account's root folder. However, this doesn't appear to be happening. If I create a .muttrc file like this account-hook imap://host1 set imap_user=user1 account-hook imap://host1 set imap_pass=pass1 folder-hook imap://host1 set folder=imap://host1 mailboxes imap://host1/INBOX account-hook imap://host2 set imap_user=user2 account-hook imap://host2 set imap_pass=pass2 folder-hook imap://host2 set folder=imap://host2 mailboxes imap://host2/INBOX and then start mutt and enter one of the two mailboxes (by running "y", and hitting "Enter" on the appropriate line), the corresponding folder-hook doesn't seem to be triggered, because the "folder" variable is not being set to the specified value. Other relevant docs, MuttGuide/Receive MuttGuide/Folders MuttGuide/UseIMAP MuttFaq/RemoteFolder mutt.sourceforge.net/imap don't seem to shed any light on the situation. How can I get this to work as advertised? Or am I just misunderstanding how it's supposed to work? Thanks for your time reading this. Regards, -- Todd Hesla
