Thanks for the reply, David. Perhaps I was too brief, but yes, I started out with exactly what you suggest and it does not work. With or without quotes, using "+" or "=" before mailbox names, and just about every variation I could think of. I get listings when toggling sidebar visibilty, but they are all fake, showing 0 messages, and 'c' '?' shows nothing but INBOX (specified under 'set folder', of course). I'm thinking it's either an imap bug (compiled with mutt's built-in imap on debian) or Google has begun using some "special sauce", so now it's imap_check_subscribed or you get locked out. I hope not the latter! Hopefully, it's just something I overlooked but having tried so many variations and having read about 100 pages on the web about this, nothing has come up. It's rather vexing... -- ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ Indulekha
