I have mutt working reasonably well with Courier IMAP, mostly thanks
to a lot of help from Sam the writer of Couier IMAP.
The two basic things you need to know to get it all working sensibly
are:-
1 - Courier IMAP puts all sub-folders *in* the INBOX folder, thus if I
have told Courier IMAP that my INBOX is $HOME/Mail/inbox (inbox
being a maildir) then all new maildir folders and mailboxes that
Courier IMAP creates are created hierarchically in inbox and
below. In addition Courier IMAP identifies its own folders by
creating them as hidden directories with a '.' prefix though of
course they appear without this '.' to a remote IMAP client.
A local mutt client can't see thse maildirs of course though it can
acess them if you know their names and enter the full name with the
'.' prefix.
2 - To create new folders and mailbooxes remotely using mutt the he
syntax when you issue an 'N' command (when saving a message for
example) is {x-1.net}INBOX.folder.subfolder. Since mutt prompts
with {x-1.net}/ you have to delete the / first, but I'm pretty
happy that it works at all.
