I am inching towards the next release of VM. It has become somewhat urgent because many patches weren't made to the 8.1.x branch. So, it is not feasible to release 8.1.2 any more. The next release has to be 8.2.0. I have cleared out some of the larger bugs targeted to the next release and

This is the first in a series of coding tips for VM developers. When you create a branch for development under Bazaar, the trunk moves on and there is a desire to merge changes from the trunk into your branch. This usually ends up with a very confused history of the form: rev 901 change #1

VM does not (yet?) have a `dired' feature for IMAP folders. On the other hand, it does provide file name completion. So, if you type M-x vm-visit-imap-folder RET IMAP-ACCOUNT-NAME:? it will display a list of all your folders on this account, and you can use the standard file name completion
