Hi,
This is the first thing that I come up with. But it still does not
meet what I need...
In mutt, when the first TAB pressed for changing the folders, it
will read all the folders from $Mailbox varaible(good), but if I
accidently press another TAB, it will read the folders from
$folder. My ~/Mail directory is about 200MB big, and mutt will
just take a long time to scan them.
I still believe there is a way to do it via save-hook. But yet,
I haven't heard any answer from the mutt mailing list and the
newsgroup.
Thanks.
Shao.
