Chris,
When you have listed your mailboxes via whatever command you bound it
too, for me it's "l", like Pine, you can hit tab to list those mailboxes
that you indicated in the .muttrc file as explicit mailboxes to check.
When I hit "tab" in this menu, it does not show any mailboxes that were
not given an explicit path, shows only those mailboxes with expicit
paths, and takes me to the mailbox that has new messages, if any.
For example, with the two entries below, if I hit tab, the perl mailbox
disappears and only the mutt mailbox is left showing. If there were
more it would jump to the mailbox with any new messages or to the perl
mailbox if a new message arrived.
mailboxes perl
mailboxes ~/mail/mutt
Is this what you were questioning or did I miss your point(s)?
I do not use IMAP and therefore have no comment about IMAP at this time.
