Just another tip (as alos shown in the documentation) Use something like the following in your .muttrc mailboxes ~/Maildir/ `echo $HOME/MuttMail/Maillist/*` and after pressing "c" mutt will show you the 'next' box with new messages. (Within $HOME/MuttMail/Maillist/ a find . -type d gives . ./Mutt ./Mutt/tmp ./Mutt/new ./Mutt/cur ./LyX ./LyX/tmp ./LyX/new ./LyX/cur [and so on ...] Greetings Frank BTW: A _BIG_ "THANKS A LOT" to the mutt developers! Since I have switched to using mutt email is much more fun for me !

OK, so a multiple-boxed maildir setup would look like ~/mail/maildir/new/ cur/ tmp/ list1/new/ cur/ tmp/ list2/new/ cur/ tmp/ and so on? and then you would 'c' and choose between 'maildir', 'list1' and 'list2' as mailboxes. Once I figure this all out I'm going to write up a page -- this topic (using Maildir w/ mutt) is in need of more documentation. Thanks for the reply, Mike

IMHO a Maildir-formatted mailbox is a directory "d" which contains cur, new and tmp subdirectories. You just change to "d" (using the c key press) and mutt detects that it is a maildir mailbox.

Maildir & 'c'
Hi, I'm playing with mutt+Maildir and I can't find an answer to this: When changing folders in maildir, how do you select the *directory* (eg. cur/) rather than opening it while in the 'c' folder-selection mode? Even using c =cur/ (w/ or w/o the '/') reports that /path/to/cur/ isnt' a mailbox. All the respective variables (mbox_type, folder, spoolfile) are set correctly afaict. Mike
