Looks interesting, I'll have to explore further. I've been tidying my config too. Initially removed some folder-hook lines at the bottom that seemed to duplicate everything that was in the source files for my account-hook lines (a legacy from earlier configs I think). Having looked at your previous email I experimented with moving the imap_user into the source'd file and it did allow the config to modify the status_format. There were a few downsides to this: Firstly, the tab completion of the accounts when changing directory vanished; I used to be able to start with im for imaps:// and tab complete from there. Secondly, once all accounts were modified it stalled on sorting mail; this was fixed by putting an imap_user in for the default account. Thirdly, once I manually type account details in (imaps://... etc.) and switch to a different account the performance nose dives and everything pauses before each action, even when I switch back to the main account performance is poor - likely due to the fact that using = hasn't switch to referring to the main account. I've also just noticed I've lost my signature. Clearly this needs more work, and I'm learning quite a bit in the process. It is amazing how long you can get along using some software without fully understanding everything about it. I started using Mutt back in 2001 I think. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | https://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 Vice Chair, FSB Portsmouth & SE Hampshire Branch | http://www.fsb.org.uk/ ============================================================================= Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Ralls House, Parklands Business Park, Forrest Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6XP
