% Hi,

Hello!


% 
% There's one thing left I didn't get working with M$ Exchange & mutt:
% 
% If I do a 'c' (change folder) and type '?' for getting a list of
% folders, mutt correctly displays a list of folders from the exchange

Yay!


% server. The only problem is that I can't select one of these folders.
% The list looks like this:
% 
%  1    IMAP +        Aufgaben/
%  2    IMAP +        Edgar/
%  3    IMAP +        INBOX/
%  ...

Hrmmm...


% 
% If I now choose for example 'INBOX' and type <return>, I just get
% another folder list with one entry

Can you, however, choose either of your other two examples and then
arrive at the mail folder, or do you have this problem with all of them?


% 
%  1    IMAP +        ../
% 
% but I'd rather like (and expect) mutt to open the specified folder.

My vague recollection is that a trailing / means that it's a directory,
which is also indicated by the ../ "in" the folder.  Would you mind
trying

  mutt -f imap://server/INBOX
  mutt -f imap://server/INBOX/
  mutt -f imap://server/INBOX.

and reporting any differences in the results?  [Well, access your imap
server however you usually do; what I specifically meant was to change
the character trailing after INBOX and see what you got.]  I don't
*think* that this has to do with $imap_delim_chars (see 6.3.64 in the
manual), but it might.

Secondarily, the manual says

  4.11.1.  The Folder Browser

  As of version 1.2, mutt supports browsing mailboxes on an IMAP server.
...
  ·  For the case where an entry can contain both messages and
     subfolders, the selection key (bound to enter by default) will
     choose to descend into the subfolder view. If you wish to view the
     messages in that folder, you must use view-file instead (bound to
     space by default).

so you could try hitting the space bar instead of the return key to see
if that works, if you've really been hitting the return key.


% 
% What do I have to do to get the desired behaviour ?

Try this and get back to us :-)
