Re: Seeing subfolder - dovecot - imap - maildir
* Linda haniganw...@earthlink.net [2012-11-14 00:04 -0500]: I use dovecot with Maildir for the imap server. I can view the inbox fine but can't access or list the subdirectories I assume you can with other IMAP clients, right? Here is the .muttrc lines that would be relevant set spoolfile=imap://office-mail@star/ set folder=imap://office-mail@star/ set record=imap://office-mail@star/Sent set imap_user=office-mail [snips...] I am pretty sure I need to change ~/maildir to something but don't know what to use in its place. Also I changed mailboxes from Mail to Maildir but it doesn't seem to change anything. I also tired a set mask command I found in some howtos but then I lost the inbox. For another technique, you may want to try using one (or both) of the following two options available for IMAP: imap_check_subscribed imap_list_subscribed When I used dovecot directly (now I use offlineimap with dovecot) I did not set my mailboxes explicitly, but allowed imap_check_subscribed to do that for me. The only settings I had (IMAP related) to make things work (this was with dovecot 1.2/2.0/2.1) follow. #v+ set folder=imaps://mx.weller-fahy.com # default location (value of = or +) set spoolfile=+INBOX# initial folder (delivery location) set mbox=+INBOX # read mail from $spoolfile goes here set imap_user=d...@weller-fahy.com set imap_idle set imap_check_subscribed set imap_headers=X-SPAM-STATUS X-SPAM-LEVEL unset imap_passive #v- So, in your case you may want to try the following. Note I have removed the slash at the end of imap://office-mail@star, if that is required to access your folders, please put it back ;). Another thing, I noticed you did not list an explicit INBOX, so I'm assuming there's a reason for that and not including it. If, however, there *is* an explicit INBOX in the IMAP account, make sure you change spoolfile to be +INBOX (and, possibly, your mbox to +INBOX as well). #v+ set folder=imap://office-mail@star set spoolfile=+ set mbox=+ set record=+Sent set imap_user=office-mail set imap_check_subscribed #v- One last thing that I noticed was the folder setting: Are all your folders under the INBOX on your IMAP server? Or are they at the same level as the INBOX? Hope that helps or leads you in the right direction. Regards, -- dave [ please don't CC me ] pgp5Ei01oa3Et.pgp Description: PGP signature

But you should get the jist of what i'm getting at. The '/' character at the end of $folder is important.
