I'm kinda thinking a script off the mailboxes line in .muttrc. You know
the thread a while ago about doing something like
mailboxes `ls ~/Mail/* | grep -v <stuff you don't want to include>`
Now, if that went in a script and became something like
------- cut here -----------
#!/bin/bash
echo > ~/.mailboxchooser
echo "~/mbox" > /tmp/boxes
COUNT=1
# The "cut -f5-20 -d/" command needs to be modified to suit your paths. My path
# looks like "/home/cdaly/Mail/<mailboxes/and/subfolders>
# Counting the leading / as the first field, I need to dump the first 4 fields
# ie. "/home/cdaly/Mail/" to get the list in order.
# You'll also need to modify the "grep -v <blah>" sections to eliminate stuff
# you don't want to appear in your folder list
for BOX in `find ~/Mail -type f -print | grep -v sent | grep -v procmail | grep -v
backup | grep -v cache | cut -f5-20 -d/ | xargs`; do
echo "=""$BOX" >> /tmp/boxes
done
sort /tmp/boxes > /tmp/boxes1
mv /tmp/boxes1 /tmp/boxes
for BOX in `cat /tmp/boxes | xargs`; do
echo "folder-hook $BOX 'macro index <left>
<change-folder>?<tab>""$COUNT""<enter>'" >> ~/.mailboxchooser
echo $BOX # Because we need to give the mailboxes command the list of
mailboxes also
COUNT=`echo $(($COUNT + 1))`
done
rm -f /tmp/boxes
--------- cut here -------------
then have in .muttrc
mailboxes `~/mailboxchooser`
source ~/.mailboxchooser
That should set the folder hooks correctly for each folder and for new
folders as they are added
