You need to read more broadly: "If your spool mailbox is in a non-default place where Mutt cannot find it, you can specify its location with this variable." Once you understand "spool mailbox" to mean 'default place to look for mail.' See also Section 19, "Initial folder selection." Why is the list debating this? Whether the docs or clear or not (everyone grees they are not!), the behavior is not disputed. $spoolfile sets the default folder and there's value in setting it to an IMAP folder. -- jh...@alum.mit.edu John Hawkinson
