I'm using the Debian [unstable] packaged version of mutt [1.3.28-2] against the Debian [testing] packaged version of uw-imapd [2001adebian-6].
What I'm trying to do is set mailboxes to poll for new email.
Compounding factors are:
set spoolfile="imap://popess.manjusri.org/INBOX"
set folder="imap://popess.manjusri.org/Mail"
and
binder@popess:~$ grep -C Debian .procmailrc
:0 E:
# Is it debian-foo? Put it in the Debian/foo folder
* MATCH ?? ^debian-\/[a-z]+
$MAILDIR/Debian/$MATCH/
binder@popess~$
If I start mutt and <c>hange folders to "+Debian/devel/" it does The
Thing I Expect, it takes me to the set of messages stored in the
Maildir format in popess:/home/binder/Mail/Debian/devel/, and all
is well there.
But if I try to set mailboxes to watch it with the directive:
mailboxes +Debian/devel/
then mutt reports "Connection to popess.manjusri.org closed" followed by
"Mailbox closed" and then I'm looking at an empty mailbox, with
none of the nine or so emails I know are in my INBOX.
`mutt -d2` shows this at the tail end, grabbing the last message from
my inbox, presumbably, and then choking on the server response:
Handling FETCH

I've RTFM and STFW; is it simply not possible to poll Maildir mailboxes
on IMAP servers for incoming mail with mutt? If it's just not possible,
I'll live with some IMAP-aware biff-like thing + mutt but I'm not
finding any indications one way or another that it's [im]possible.
Surely someone else is delivering to Maildir and monitoring it with
mutt, over IMAP, successfully?
