I had meant for this reply to go to the list, but wasn't paying attention. ;-)

I considered the hack "+folder@imap" or > something icky, but haven't really had a good thought on this. Hmmm.. I think we want to stay away from changing the syntax of folders. Rather, let the agent handle the caching of folders through an alias of some kind. I.e. Let's say I connect to two differnet IMAP servers; one connection I've aliased as "bob", and one as "alice". The agent would hold the imap://user@password:host:port information for each server and bind it to the "bob" and "alice" folders. Folder access could simply be "+bob/inbox" and "+alice/inbox". The agent would have to figure out a way to store cached info w/o clobbering info from another agent. Perhaps the cached mail folder is actually ~/Mail/.nmh-agent_hostnameforbob/ and ~/Mail/.nmh-agent_hostnameforalice/. > If I'm going to bust my behind doing this, I want to do it "right". Absolutely!

We all have our own skeletons, I guess. ;-) -- Chad Walstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr
