After many tests, I finally realize this is actually a problem of "current directory" rather than the folder variable, It looks like after I change folder the "current directory" does NOT change. I guess this is the supposed way. So I added the following line folder-hook 'imaps://imap.gmail.com' "push <change-folder>?<change-dir><kill-line>imaps://imap.gmail.com<enter><exit>" into muttrc. And it works. Correspondingly I have to set the current directory for every mailboxes I defined. Thanks Peng
