Mutt knows about folders (as oppsoed to mailboxes) in IMAP as it marks them in the directory listing with a '+' sign. Aha, but what you can do is create "ABC/ABC123" which will create a 'folder' ABC with a mailbox ABC123 in it which is what I want. > # ~/.muttrc > source "~/.mutt/mutt_mailboxes" > > # ~/.mutt/mutt_mailboxes > mailboxes "imap://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/IMAPFolderName1" > mailboxes "imap://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/IMAPFolderName2" I don't seem to need to add any mailboxes commands, navigation once I've created the folders works as I expect. Thanks for the hint in the right direction. -- Chris Green
