IMAP: Moving mail between folders in 1.3.15i
Hi, I receive all mail into my IMAP INBOX from where I manually save them to different folders on our IMAP server. The problem is that after I have read the mail and saved it to another folder the message appears there as being marked unread. Is this a misconfiguration on my side? How do I get a message to stay flagged as read after it has been read and moved to another folder? Ciao Charl __ Don't worry.

IMAP: Auth problems
Hi, I would like to use imap_auth_login as the default way to log into my IMAP server. Unfortunately when I try to connect to the server Mutt detects that my IMAP server can do CRAM-MD5 and keeps on trying that authentication method. Is there a way to implicitly force Mutt to connect to an IMAP server using a specific authentication scheme or can you please add a timeout so that Mutt can skip CRAM-MD5 after x failures and try imap_auth_login (which in my case would succeed)?

multiple imap mailboxes
How can I manage multiple imap mailboxes in mutt? I'd like to be able to read each mailbox seperately, perhaps using a convenient way to switch between them. I'd also like to avoid having to re-enter my password each time (even if it means compromising security by keeping cleartext passwords in a local file, though I'd like to avoid that also if possible). And finally, with the setup above, I'd like to be able to move messages from one imap mailbox to another. Is this all possible? I've been reading and re-reading the mutt documentation and I can't seem to get myself to understand the mutt macros, key bindings, folder hooks or whatever it takes to pull of what I need. Any hints which might help configure mutt for my needs would be greatly appreciated. Marc

Re: xterm titlebars and status_format or folder-hook
Hello!
This is what my status_cmd patch does. It adds a new variable status_cmd.
This is a name of the program that gets called when status line is changed.
The program gets two arguments: old status and new status.
I also attach my script that I use for this. This script parses
the status line and changes the xterm status according
to whether there are new messages and other parameters.
And I do
set status_format="%v: %r %f [%?b?%b mailboxes ,?%M/%m] %?p?[post=%p]?
%?n?[N=%n]?%?t?[*=%t]? <%s>"
set status_cmd="statuscmd"
Hope this helps,
MST

Sorry I can't help you, but this reminds me of a feature that I'd like
to suggest for imap browsing (hmm, this could be a really stupid idea).
I would be nice to create a dummy file or symlink in a mailfolder to an
imap mailbox and browse it as if it was just another local mbox or
maildir:
ln -s imaps:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX $HOME/Mail/INBOX

Have a look at imap_pass and imap_user in the manual, you can set these
in your muttrc file.
> And finally, with the setup above, I'd like to be able to move

I think you need to use the full path to the destination imap folder,
you can use tab completion to make this easier.
In mutt-1.2.* imap paths look like this:
{imap.myisp.com/}path/to/folder/
In mutt-1.3.* they look like this:
imap:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/folder/

set spoolfile={[EMAIL PROTECTED]:143}inbox
#This is my folder there are many like it but this one is mine.
set folder={[EMAIL PROTECTED]:143}inbox.

source .muttrc-common
$ cat .muttrc-common

Those were all in system include files, so there's nothing the mutt developers can do about them. But it's not really anything to worry about. GCC supports "long long" even though it's not part of the ANSI C standard. The warning is there only as a reminder that it isn't portable.
