How do I browse folders using IMAP?

2002-10-01 Thread Tom 

I usually work with mail on the local machine, but
sometimes have to log onto an IMAP server. I have no
problem logging on with c{user@server}inbox.folder
but I would like to browse the IMAP folders, but
every c? or cTab only lists the local folders
(I usually want the local folders, but not when
connected to the IMAP server).

And one folder I can not get to at all (it has a
!@#$%^* space in the name - I did not name it), and
when I try to type c{user@server}inbox.folder name
the space resets the input, and I get the same
result as if I typed cname.

Can anyone help? Thank you in advance.

Tom

set folder=imap://user@server

 set folder=imap://user@server

I tried that, both:

set folder=imaps://user@server and
set folder=imaps://user@server/inbox

and I just get the error message (on c?, and both
before and after I log onto the IMAP server):

imaps://user@server: No such file or directory (errno = 2)

I just tried this with

  set folder=imaps://user@server/

on Mutt 1.4i (2002-05-29), with and without trailing slash,
and it works as expected, i.e. typing c? asks for my
password and then presents the list of IMAP folders and
c=ITAB completes with =INBOX.

Looks like your version of mutt does not understand the
imaps:// syntax?

Benjamin.
