Stopping expansion of periods in mbox name?
I recently switched mutt versions on one of my computers to 1.5.19 from the 1.4 series. A problem I'm having is that mutt is expanding periods in mbox names to forward slashes, as if talking to a Maildir imap server. For example, I request a change-folder to imap://server/firstname.lastname and I get error Can't open mailbox mail/firstname/lastname. I've set mbox_type=mbox Using mutt 1.4.2.3i with the same configs doesn't do this. Any ideas?

I see now that it is indeed the status bar. But for the life of me I don't remember actually seeing the status bar info showing up again right above the header. Nor do I really understand its purpose, because it looks as thought the information being displayed is essentially the same as the information displayed in the message list. ---Rem

Thanks! Here is the improved macro: macro index,pager G "\ unset wait_key\ \ if [[ -s /var/mail/$USER ]]; then\ mutt_dotlock -p /var/mail/$USER;\ cat /var/mail/$USER >> ~/INBOX;\ echo -n > /var/mail/$USER;\ mutt_dotlock -p -u /var/mail/$USER;\ fi\ set wait_key\ " "fetch local and pop3 mail" Josef.

Antonio is doing a great job with doing BTS housekeeping, and forwarding the "real" bugs to mutt's trac. Wrt to mutt-patched, it's definitely not very high on my priority list.

time stamps on emails in mutt index display
Where does mutt get the date and time that it displays in the index of emails in a folder? I ask because I am trying to build an archive of old email in maildir format and I have a troublesome email (well more than one, but one is particularly troublesome). The desplayed date is 1970-01-01 00:00:00. I know that this is the Unix epoch. I opened this particular email in vim, say the there was no Date: line in it, and put one in. But, even with multiple restarts of the program and fiddles with the formate of the date string, I still see the Unix epoch. Where should I dummy in a date on an email so that mutt sees it? (and believes it?) TIA -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net
IMAP support
Hello I think the IMAP isn't that bad and I'm considering to give up on mbsync or offlineimap since I'm annoyed of those tools. But I think there at least three issues with IMAP. Maybe those could be solved until 1.6 comes out. 1. Mutt can tell me w/o any problem that there is a new mail in a certain folder but can't tell me that in the folder view. There is no N indicator. 2. Instead of displaying +INBOX mutt displays imaps://host/INBOX. 3. When I want to attach a file, the file browser shows me the IMAP server and not my home directory and when I'm finished with the email I'm still in my home directory and not back on the IMAP server. I guess there are more issues but those are mine so far. Thomas

If you are, mutt won't actually read the email itself, and will read the cache instead. ~Kyle - -- To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. -- Theodore Roosevelt, 1912 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iEYEARECAAYFAkmPokIACgkQBkIOoMqOI16akwCfUwGFg9Te7By9CGYYkIgLjVjn iDUAn3oH+VS6R20GWXmU9lDpYob4yG1n =S8QH -END PGP SIGNATURE-
