No key, by default.  There's the function , but, by 
default, there's no key binding to it.


I change that, bind G to , since I use IMAP but not 
POP.  Here's an excerpt from my .muttrc for details.

#By default, in the index keymap, G is bound to , which

#POP, and do use IMAP, so change that.

#G is not bound by default in the pager keymap, and seems unlikely in
#the others.

#Maybe I could do this in a folder hook, but nah.

bind index G imap-fetch-mail

Hi Mathias,

Thank you for your email.

The cool thing is, you can just define them how you want to.


Indeed that is very cool. Those bindings that you provided are also
quite nifty.


Perhaps my question was phrased a bit poorly.  What I'm trying to get at
with my question here is: "Why are the default bindings the way they
are", rather than "How can I change my bindings."
