I can't help with the filtering; I receive everything into my inbox ;) but here's the extract from my .muttrc dealing with the IMAP mailboxes: set folder=imap://<imap_server> set spoolfile=imap://<imap_server> set mbox_type="Maildir" set copy=yes set record=+sent-mail 'c' '=' will take you to the folders on the imap server HTH -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk ... ...strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
