 Posted: Wed Nov 24, 2004 12:17 pm Post subject: mutt and imap folders |
 |
|
I use IMAP with mutt.
I am slowly progressing with mutt, but now I have a wierd problem. My top level "inbox" works fine and i can see messages...I can also press "c" and then "?" and get a nice list of my mail folders, when i go to the bottom of the list I get to see my messages (ie the folder at the bottom of the tree). BUT I dont see messages in folders in between the root and the bottom! most wierd and annoying.
I also need to be able to easily move mesages from the root inbox to my subfolders. Something like these commands (from http://wiki.mutt.org/index.cgi?MuttFaq/Maildir) look useful for my muttrc - although i want to see my missing messages 1st.
| Code: |
macro index c "<change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>" "open a different folder"
macro pager c "<change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>" "open a different folder"
macro index C "<copy-message>?<toggle-mailboxes>" "copy a message to a mailbox"
macro index M "<save-message>?<toggle-mailboxes>" "move a message to a mailbox"
|

Please help, driving me nuts and I really want to like mutt. As a further point I have no reference to Maildir in my .muttrc, I think this is for local mail only, I just want to manipultate stuff server side....heres what i currently have in muttrc (extract)....
| Code: |
set spoolfile=imaps://mail.messagingengine.com/INBOX
set mbox=imaps://mail.messagingengine.com/INBOX
set folder=imaps://mail.messagingengine.com/INBOX.
set postponed=imaps://mail.messagingengine.com/INBOX.Drafts
set record="=Sent Items"

cheers for reading...

Not sure why you are setting your folder to your INBOX. The folder should be a directory. I'm doing something like
| Code: |
set folder = "{mail}Mail"
set spoolfile = "{mail}inbox"
|
I can access other mailboxes in my Mail folder using
=mailboxname (ie =sent). |

| Its because its IMAP, ie all the folders are server side...I`m not actually storing any mail locally at all...or am I missing something. |

| In my case, I'm doing the same thing. The folder {mail}Mail is my Mail directory on the remote machine. =sent is an IMAP folder in that directory on that machine. |

Hi Raffi,
OK thanks, but I am still confused. Any chance you could post your .muttrc so I can take a look. So folder and spoolfile should be set diefferently ? and does "Mail" have a special meaning to mutt.
yours (still confused)

Yes Folder and spoolfile are different. Folder is the directory where is a directory where you keep your mailboxes. spoolfile should point to the mailbox that imap uses for new mail (in most cases the special name INBOX). The Mail directory on your local machine is the default folder and since I have been using mutt for many years (long before it supported imap) that is where I keep my files. Now those files are on the remote machine instead of my local machine.
Here is my muttrc, it probably needs some cleaning up.
| Code: |
# MUTT variables
set folder = "{mail.aha.com}Mail"
set spoolfile = "{mail.aha.com}inbox"
set imap_user = "yourusername"
set imap_pass = "yourpassword"
mailboxes ! =auto =root =system =www =report
unset imap_servernoise
auto_view text/html application/msword
alternative_order text/plain text/enriched
set include = yes
set signature = ~/.sig
set record = =sent.`date +%m-%Y`
set sort = reverse-date-sent
unset save_empty
set editor="vi"
set mime_forward
