I have an account on a Courier imapd server, and my mailboxes
look like this:
imaps://imap.example.com/INBOX
imaps://imap.example.com/INBOX.friends
imaps://imap.example.com/INBOX.work
imaps://imap.example.com/INBOX.lists.mutt
imaps://imap.example.com/INBOX.lists.vim
As you can see, everything is relative to "INBOX". So, I set my
$folder like this:
set folder = "imaps://imap.example.com/INBOX"
Which is great because I can then type "c" to change to a folder and
simply type "=friends" to select that mailbox.
I want mutt to open to my work mailbox, so I set spoolfile and also
my other standard mailboxes:
set spoolfile = +work
set record= +sent-mail
set postponed= +postponed
This works perfectly.
What does not work is "mailboxes" to set which folders to watch:
mailboxes \
imaps://imap.example.com/INBOX.lists.mutt \
=lists.vim
The result of that is that my mailboxes list looks like this:
(notice the "/" delimiter mutt has added)
01 120 imaps://imap.example.com/INBOX.lists.mutt
02 0 imaps://imap.example.com/INBOX/lists.vim
^
The odd result is that both of those work for changing to that
mailbox, but the ones where I use the "=" shortcut do not display
any message counts (not the zero new messages in the example).
Same thing happens if I use "+lists.vim".
I tried modifying my "imap_delim_chars" to just the ".", but not
difference.
At one point in Mutt's history (1.5.14 perhaps) using "=" as in the
example above worked. I have posted a number of times about this
issue in the past, but just not noticed the delimiter.
Yes, I could use:
set folder = "imaps://imap.example.com/"
mailboxes \
=INBOX.lists.mutt \
=INBOX.lists.vim
But then I have to type "c =INBOX.friends" when I want to change mailboxes.
