An alias for the mailboxes
Hello, in my .muttrc I have several mailboxes defined, and all of them correspond to imap mailboxes. They show like this: imaps://server_1/INBOX imaps://server_2/INBOX imaps://server_1/mutt-users imaps://server_2/debian-users imaps://server_1/Sent etc I would like to have this a bit more organized, and it would suffice to be able to make aliases for them, so they would show up as: work private mutt-users debian-users work/sent etc I subscribe to many mailing lists and have many imap accounts, so at the moment there's a mess. Something like this would be great: mailboxes imaps://server_1/INBOX work would be great. Is there anyway to achieve this? Thank you very much. -- Salvatore Iovene http://www.iovene.com signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Thanks. I'm now just forwarding this to the ML, because you must have forgotten.

However, I can't get it working. Do I need to press any key to enable those macros? When I press 'c' and then 'TAB' to view the list of my mailboxes, I still get the full path.
