I guess it's not a library that comes with mutt. (grep -rli mbx mutt-1.4 didn't turn up anything) I'll have a look at debian.org later.

I tried out a maildir folder once, and it (navigation) seemed to work just the same as with mbox files. See below for the relevant part of my .muttrc (I did something that works, and haven't looked at it for ages :) set arrow_cursor set folder="~/mail" set spoolfile = "=MBOX" # when in the initial index -- press tab, to get these. mailboxes `echo imap://exchange:143/INBOX pop://mail.netvision.net.il /home/chris/mail/* /home/chris/mail/list/*` ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
