Hi list,
I'm a big fan of 'c' to quickly switch between mail boxes but I have to
admit that my few IMAP/POP accounts are hard to reach. I know there are
a few workarounds to simulate aliases but I thought I'd try a less
redundant solution. This small patch allows the following syntax when
defining mailboxes:
mailboxes js=imaps://u...@myhost.com/
mailboxes errors=imaps://ot...@stuff.com/
mailboxes longpath=+work/project/x/errors/critical
It also add the '*' prefix to access the aliases, e.g. you would access
the above mboxes with 'c*js' or 'c*errors'. Here are a few
threads/tickets with people needing a similar feature:

http://marc.info/?t=114659249800001&r=1&w=2
ticket #3245
...
Cheers,
Bertrand
