Hi, I'm currently trying to migrate from a local Maildir to an IMAP server. So far I was used to have a maildir marked with an 'N' in mutt if there was a new email in there, like: ~~~ 21 N drwxr-x--- 5 fetchmai mail 4.0K Jan 22 12:11 .Linus/ ~~~
Which is pretty handy, because I don't want to have to access every single maildir to check whether I have new emails there. However, I do not seem to have this anymore when trying to access my mails via IMAP, it for instance just says: ~~~ 16 IMAP Linus ~~~ Am I doing something wrong in Dovecot or in Mutt? Or is this somehow not supported with IMAP? My muttrc for IMAP looks like this (I'm trying to start minimal): ~~~ set folder="imap://test:[email protected]/" set spoolfile="imap://test:[email protected]/" set imap_check_subscribed=yes ~~~ The muttrc for the local Maildirs looked like this: ~~~ ignore * unignore From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: #Only these are shown in the header set from="[email protected]" set realname="Linus Lüssing" set use_from=yes set envelope_from="yes" set editor = "/usr/bin/vim +\"set nomodeline\" +\"set tw=66\"" set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp" set mbox_type=Maildir set folder="/var/mail/Maildir" set mask="!^\\.[^.]" set mbox="/var/mail/Maildir" set record="+.Sent" set postponed="+.Drafts" mailboxes ! + `\ for file in /var/mail/Maildir/.*; do \ box=$(basename "$file"); \ if [ ! "$box" = '.' -a ! "$box" = '..' -a ! "$box" = '.customflags' \ -a ! "$box" = '.subscriptions' ]; then \ echo -n "\"+$box\" "; \ fi; \ done` mailboxes "/var/mail/linus" ~~~ And I'm using Mutt 1.5.20 (2009-06-14) and dovecot-imapd 1:1.2.15-7 on a Debian Squeeze. Cheers, Linus PS: Thanks for sharing Mutt and its code with the world, it's been a very reliable email client for me for ages.
