That's because the 'c' command *opens* the folder. Since the IMAP
server '{127.0.0.1}INBOX.' can contain mail as well as other folders
mutt just opens the folder - with no mail in your case.
One (rather convoluted) way to get there is to issue the following
sequence of commands:-
c change-folder
? goes into browser
c change-dir
^U deletes the default you're given
{127.0.0.1}INBOX the IMAP *directory* to open
There is also some way of getting there using TAB in response to the
change-folder prompt but the above route is more universal in my
experience. I have defined macros to perform the above sequence (see
my earlier message today).
