Here's the snippet I use:
# Use everything that looks like a mailbox in ~/Maildir/
# except the ones explicitely excluded
mailboxes ! + `\
for file in ~/Maildir/.*; do \
box=$(basename "$file"); \
if [ ! "$box" = '.' -a ! "$box" = '..' \
-a ! "$box" = '.debian' \
-a ! "$box" = '.notmuch' \
echo -n "\"+$box\" "; \
fi; \
done`
This is not needed for IMAP. It also understands the concept of
subscribed folder:
# only show subscribed folders
set imap_list_subscribed
# check all subscribed folders for new mail
set imap_check_subscribed
Kind regards,
Andrei
