Hello.
I am using mutt 0.96.3i (on another Computer at work) and can't confirm to
what Mr. Green said:

This i have too. You can not browse local Folders with this setting of
$folder.

Here my experience is different. For me it is possible to save the message
to a local file giving the full path. No translation / -> . .
Has this behaviour changed in recent versions of mutt?

My settings from .muttrc

set folder="{imap.at_work.de}Inbox."

set record={imap.at_work.de}Inbox.outmail

set spoolfile="{imap.at_work.de}Inbox"

System is Linux Kernel 2.0.36. Sorry no mutt -v for I'm at home at the
moment.
