No it works fine now. Just trying out a couple of shell scripts similar to Andre's, but much simpler: mailboxes.sh: ########################## #!/bin/sh set -e MAILDIR="/home/david/mail" HOSTNAME="blackswan" for f in $(find $MAILDIR -name "*," -o -name "*$HOSTNAME" | cut -d'/' -f5 | \ sort -u | sed 's/^\.//') do if [ "$f" == "new" ] || [ "$f" == "cur" ]; then f="INBOX" fi echo -n " +"$f done echo ######################## It seems to be working fine but for some reason I'm unable to bind it to a macro in browser: macro browser z "|~/.mutt/mailboxes.sh\n" This just tells me that key is unbound, and I've tried it elsewhere like index, which works, but I'd rather have it in browser where I'm actually looking at the mailboxes.What do you mean by "in a browser" ? Do you you mean the folder view?
Yes, when I use the toggle-mailboxes command and it lists all the imap folders. I've seen plenty of macros for browser online, but it just seems to get ignored here. Maybe they are outdated.
