Try putting: set imap_delim_chars = '/' set sidebar_delim_chars = '/' in your muttrc and see if it helps. By default, Mutt treats both '/' and '.' as folder separator characters, and that may be causing the issue. -- Kevin J.

Reading from IMAP folders with '.' in name
Greetings: I am a new mutt user. I like it so far! One hurdle is giving me a real headache at the moment. My mail provider uses IMAP, and I use aliases with folders and routing rules to allow for multiple email addresses under one account. My folder layout is like this... Inbox/ |-- ja...@oneway.dev/ |-- o...@example.org/ `-- t...@example.org/ In the mutt sidebar (which I love!), it looks like this... INBOX INBOX/jason@oneway/dev INBOX/one@example/org INBOX/two@example/org When I attempt to open one of the subfolders with 'c' and then by selecting the folder, mutt tells me that the mailbox does not exist and stops there. Renaming the folders to something without '.' or '@' characters allows me to access them just fine. Thus, I think the folder name has something to do with it. How might I allow for folder names that match a normal email address including the '.' and '@' characters? This will at least get me to where I can read all of my mail easily. Many thanks in advance! -- Jason Franklin
