i did that and added all my IMAP folders, when i press tab ( at the
directory browser ) i can see all of them, but unfortunatly it doesnt
display wether a folder has a new mail ( the docs say it should indicate
new mails ) 
i have
set mail_check = 60
set imap_checkinterval = 10
so mutt should check every 10 seconds

i have
set folder = {10.0.0.55}INBOX
but actually mutt still goes to the /var/mail/wedge spool when its
started, ( i realize the -y argument so it goes to the mailboxes list by
default )
and mailboxes is set to {10.0.0.55}INBOX etc

well, the thing is that i leave all the mail on my LAN gateway, and i
get my mail from it via imap ( i use procmail there to distribute the
mails into several folders ) but i dont see how my local machine would
realize when a new mail arrives, except mutt checking the mailbox and
then it sees that there is a new mail.

imap folders index

[Bernhard Valenti]

i connect to my IMAP server that has ~8 folders, the thing is that right now i have to 
go through all the folders every few minutes to check if there is
any new mail in one of them. is there a solution for that so mutt like displays a 
message that folder X has a new mail... or is there some imap folder
index which shows the read/unread count ? ( oh and it would be cool if you can make 
mutt execute a command when a new mail arrives )
