By default in Mutt (and, I believe, several other popular IMAP clients, notiably PINE), if you hit "s" to save/archive a message in your inbox, Mutt will try to save the message in imap://server/INBOX/username, where "username" is the LHS of the sender's email address -- e.g. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" would be saved in imap://server/INBOX/foo.
The problem I'm repeatedly hitting is that if the username contains a period, bincimap refuses to create the folder: 1542 < a0006 UID COPY 12313 "INBOX/foo.bar" 1542 > a0006 NO [TRYCREATE] COPY failed: invalid mailbox "INBOX/foo.bar" 1542 < a0007 CREATE "INBOX/foo.bar" 1542 > a0007 NO CREATE failed: invalid mailbox name 1542 < a0008 NOOP 1542 > a0008 OK NOOP completed Since many, many companies use "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as their standard for employee email addresses, this means that I encounter this problem pretty frequently. I would think that this would just be a matter of escaping the "." character when passing the CREATE message to the server... is that not the case? CourierIMAP never seemed to have a problem with it... -n --------------------------------------------------------------<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Two crucial things in New York: Do the work and enjoy the town. New York furnishes vast pleasure to them what can hear the music and do the dance. They may be from Wisconsin or Denmark or Japan, but they walk down the street and it appeals to them, the hurly-burly and the eccentrics and the street musicians, the aroma of pizza and chestnuts and hot dogs, the jangle of a dozen different languages, the distant siren, the rumble of the subway, the pockets of grace and elegance and the flash and hustle and the river of perspiring humanity. A person who knows how to make himself happy can do well in New York. Enjoying the carnival is more important to your happiness than 'making it.' But do do the work."
