I have several IMAP accounts on the same server, imap://localhost:14300 (SSH tunneled). I want to be able to see all the new mail in one spot, so I use the sidebar patch.
It seems problematic to use account-hook or folder-hook because all of the accounts are on the same host. I set up stuff like 127.0.0.1 m1 m2 m3 m4 m5 in /etc/hosts to facilitate doing stuff like mailboxes imap://m1:14300/INBOX account-hook imap://m1:14300/ 'set imap_user=u1 imap_pass=p1' folder-hook imap://m1:14300 'set spoolfile=imap://m1:14300/INBOX folder=imap://m1:14300/' etc. If I do that for each account, my sidebar looks like INBOX INBOX INBOX INBOX all indistinguishable. Not too useful. If I leave /INBOX off of the mailboxes directive, I get a more meaningful folder name in the sidebar, but I need meaningful names for all the various folders. I could hack by creating lots of /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 aliases and lots of folder-hooks, but sheesh. It's just seeming ridiculously difficult to do this. Someone, please save me. Thanks.
