Re: next-unread-mailbox for IMAP folder

If I have new email in my local mailboxes fetched by getmail, then the next-unread-mailbox can take me to it correctly. However if there is one new email in the gmail IMAP, then the next-unread-mailbox simply tells me no mailboxes have new mail. Is there anyway I can tell mutt to treat IMAP like a normal folder so that the next-unread-mailbox can find it? You might want to run Mutt in debug mode (mutt -d 2) and see if there are any clues. There could be an issue with the IMAP support used to detect new mail. me
Multiple IMAP accounts
I've been using Mutt for a good few years now, but only started using it over IMAP a year or so ago and now I've started using multiple IMAP accounts with it. Setting this up was straight forward enough, and I can cycle through mailboxes with new mail in quite happily, but only if I have already checked mail once. What I'm trying to do, and haven't yet worked out how, is connect to all the IMAP mail accounts when I first start Mutt, so Mutt knows which ones have new mail in without having to manually change into each one first. Can anyone point me to some good references for this, I've not managed to spot what I'm looking for with Google or on the Mutt Wiki so far. Another thing I'll be looking at is a means to save me typing in the full details of each mail account in order to switch between them. I'm particularly keen on this since they are all on the same server and each account name is the email address and things get quite long winded even with tab completion! I'm thinking that something along the lines of a macro or a bind line in my muttrc file should do the trick here, but since I'm typing if anyone has a pointer it may save me some time :) -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 == Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Crawford House, Hambledon Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6NU
