Dear mutt-users,
I'm trying to read my office email using mutt through IMAP. On my remote
machine, my mail is stored under ~/Mail in maildir format in many
subdirectories. When I connect from my local host to my remote host using,
I'm able to read the INBOX and send mail, but when I try to change to any
of the maildir directories inside ~/Mail, I get an error
=Mail/<dirname> is not a selectable mailbox.
For saving postponed messages and sent-mail, I specified two files, but
despite my setting mbox_type to maildir --- see below --- the files are in
mbox format, saved under ~/Mail in the remote machine.
I tried to search mailing lists for a solution, but I was unable to find
them. If anyone knows a fix, I'd be happy to learn it.
Thank you.
Manoj.
