Package: mutt Version: 1.8.3+neomutt20170609-2+b1 Severity: normal 3.96. header_cache
Type: path Default: (empty) This variable points to the header cache database. If pointing to a directory Mutt will contain a header cache database file per folder, if pointing to a file that file will be a single global header cache. By default it is unset so no header caching will be used. --- This is partly true; when specifying a directory, the value of $HOME/Mail is appended to it, which frankly is quite insane. With these settings: set message_cachedir=~/Mail-a set header_cache=~/Mail-b and no other setting that contains "Mail", the header cache ends up being written to /home/paul/Mail-b/home/paul/Mail/imaps:p.sloot...@example.com@192.168.1.90/INBOX.hcache The message cache is correctly written to /home/paul/Mail-a/imaps:p.sloot...@example.com@192.168.1.90/INBOX/* It seems that constructing the path for the header cache messes up somewhere by always appending $HOME/Mail/ . This should be fixed. I used Mail-a and Mail-b in the above settings instead of the original Mail I had to determine whether message_cachedir was being appended to the header_cache path, but apparently it's not. thanks, Paul -- Package-specific info: NeoMutt 20170609 (1.8.3) Copyright (C) 1996-2016 Michael R.
