Some of my muttrc files have GMail others have Gmail with only the first letter capitalized. I just got through doing a major overhaul of my Gmail. Gmail's system labels are as follows: [Gmail] [Gmail]/All Mail [Gmail]/Drafts [Gmail]/Sent Mail [Gmail]/Spam [Gmail]/Starred [Gmail]/Trash And of course +INBOX refers to [Gmail]/Inbox. There are other reserved labels in Gmail such as Snoozed, Important, Chats, etc., but if those are of interest you can "Google" for them. ~(:>)) The one gotcha from my perspective is that Gmail uses "labels" *not* "folders" to structure its mail. So any particular email may have multiple labels. If your intention is to map labels to folders this may cause you grief if you are not careful. HTH! -- Wishing you only the best, boB Stepp
Re: Location of sample muttrc and mailcap files, and correct names of Gmail folders
Hello - > Where are sample files for muttrc located? Where are sample mailcap > located? On my machine, sample muttrc files are located in /usr/share/doc/mutt/examples. There are a couple of muttrc files and a sample mailcap file there. If you have the source, then there are samples of both in the contrib directory, and a longer sample muttrc in the doc directory. > Also and this seems to be the initial cause of my calamity, what is > the correct names of the imap folders in gmail?

But I think you might get by with just setting the spoolfile to be "+INBOX". Good luck! -- David Lowry-Duda
Location of sample muttrc and mailcap files, and correct names of Gmail folders
Hello Mutt-Users, Today for some reason, mutt stopped working, it needed a control-c to interrupt then continue, I finally got it working, I don't remember how, but probably I had an error in my muttrc file. Where are sample files for muttrc located? Where are sample mailcap located? Also and this seems to be the initial cause of my calamity, what is the correct names of the imap folders in gmail? Some of my muttrc files have GMail others have Gmail with only the first letter capitalized. This was causing a problem because I started having all sorts of extra folders appear in my gmail imap account with names like Gmail and GMail, I cannot give you specifics because I have finally eliminated them all. I use settings in my muttrc to retreive my imap because I had tried offline-imap or some sort of program and I lost a bunch of email doing so - or so I think. So I'm scared of doing that again.
