Leaving aside the small matter that "*" is an extraordinarily bad idea to 
send to an IMAP server, you have to use an IMAP mailbox wildcard.
	mail_list (imapstream,NIL,"{imapserver.example.com}*");

"*" is a local mailbox wildcard.

syntax for mail_open and mail_list?

2004-12-13 Thread Andrew Biggs 
Hello,

I'm trying to get a grip on the syntax I should be
using for ref and pat parameters in the mail_list()
command.  I have a stream which I've already opened
with mail_open(OP_HALFOPEN), and I'd like to do
something simple like:

001 LIST "" "*"

Just using NIL for ref and * in the pat parameter
doesn't seem to be working out.

Thanks!
Andrew
