And is there a general document describing differences between 1.0 and 1.1? I presume not all changes were IMAP related.

Er, however
* Tab-completion of IMAP folder names
It works too, at my first try of using it.
* Folder browsing
How do I actually do this? If I enter the IMAP server name I just get
my inbox, I also get my inbox when I enter {mailandnews.co.uk}/, in
fact I seem to get the inbox whatever I do.
* Go-fast stripes
* Postponed-message support
* Server-side copy
What does this mean? Does it mean I can copy/move messages to another
IMAP folder on the server? If so, how?
* Fast sync
* Secure login (GSSAPI and CRAM-MD5)
Worked forst time with CRAM-MD5 for me, mutt was the first program to
tell me the server had this!
* More and better segfaults
Hey, I just got one of those! :-) I entered '{}' in response to the
'Chdir to:' prompt and mutt expired.
* Attach messages from IMAP folders
* Use an IMAP path as your Maildir (set folder='')
* Preserve message keywords
* Preserve deleted messages if you don't choose to expunge them

Maybe it's a dumb question, but have you created other folders on your
server?

yes. There's no trick, it's just like regular copy only messages aren't
downloaded and reuploaded. Tag some messages and copy them. Mutt will
create a new folder for you if the destination doesn't already exist.
Note there's currently no way to delete folders in mutt. That would be a
trivial enhancement, actually...

Hmm, I'll look at that...

Ok, I've got that fixed. It will be in CVS within a couple of days.
Thanks for the report.

Yes, definitely, I have a dozen or twenty folders on the server.
They're all at the same 'level' as the inbox if you see what I mean.

OK, I'll try that, thanks. What I'd *really* like is a 'move' facility
as this is typically what I use the IMAP server for.

That should work fine, no? Otherwise you can make a macro to save them and then sync, which should look like a move. -- Brendan Cully <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | OLD SKOOL ROOLZ "I hope I don't win| .-_|\ The rules say to bring a friend | / \ I don't have any" | Perth ->*.--._/
