The folder-hook matches. However the $folder/browser interaction is
not what you seem to expect. The first time, the browser starts in
$folder. The user can navigate across directories. Next times, the
browser conveniently starts where it was last left. IOW: $folder
initializes the browser once; Subsequent $folder changes do nothing.

What you want can be done via browser's change-dir function, in
macros, or pushed in folder-hooks. Several examples of this have been
posted here or in cmm. See archives.


But Mutt's browser lacks a sort of main root above all IMAP accounts
and local directories. You would go there when doing .. from the root
of any IMAP account. It would list all other accounts, and would permit
natural navigation everywhere. It could be virtual, populated by some
muttrc configuration. Or be a real directory, containing symlinks to
imap://imap.example.com/ URLs.


Bye!Alain.

I've found mutts IMAP-support to be less than stellar. A good
workaround is to use a IMAP-Maildir syncronizer like offlineimap.

 On my imap server I have some other folders than just Inbox (they are 
 obviously subfolders of my INBOX) and i want to navigate them.
 For doing this I do again a c + tab for view my *current* folder 
 subfolders, but it shows me again my local (localhost) mail home folder. 
 And hitting again tab shows me again my mailboxes.
 I read trough the manual,the wiki and in this list archives,but i am not 
 lucky.

Then try /Folders + /Actions in the wiki guide again.
Also note than IMAP-browsing has been improved recently, upgrade to
1.5.15+

 mailboxes = imap://mavior.eu/
 mailboxes = imap://kdo.it/

See /Syntax or manual.txt for how to define mailboxes.

 Is it possible to browse my imap folders, without do c and write down 
 every time my imap address and then browse with auto-completing?

See macros.

I have read about it.Maybe i will try that.
But I have to say that I get the beaviour I want if I insert this 
command in my muttrc:

set folder =imap://mavior.eu
The problem is then my base folder is to default my imap one.Then I 
can't navigate with a tab my local folders and I am again to the start 
point!
I believed that inserting the set folder command in the folder  hook 
would did the trickbut seems  to do not!
It's like if the fodler-hook doesn't match the my folder but I have 
tried also folder-hook imap://mavior.eu/.*? and it still doesn't work!

Am I missing something about the hooks?
thank you anyway
