[Feature request] mailbox aliases and internal filtering
I'd like to have aliases for mailboxes. Well, I suppose I could define a spurious address with the wanted alias so that I could use the @alias form. But it would be better if there was a cleaner way. And this alias should be displayed instead of the full name with %f in $status_format. Then, how about being able to do internal filtering? For instance, using mailboxes the_mailbox#pattern1 mailboxes the_mailbox#pattern2 mailboxes the_mailbox#pattern3 mailboxes the_mailbox#pattern4 When opening the corresponding physical mailbox the_mailbox, Mutt would automatically do a limit on the pattern. An alias could be used instead of the full mailbox form the_mailbox#pattern1, and so on. Mutt should be able to recognize when the same physical mailbox is used to detect new mail so that change-folder can work as expected. I don't know what is currently done, but synchronizing/... should not set non-visible new messages to old (possibly through an option if some users don't like this behavior). -- Vincent Lefèvre [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Web: http://www.vinc17.org/ - 100% validated (X)HTML - Acorn Risc PC, Yellow Pig 17, Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, TETRHEX, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA

See URL:http://www.davep.org/mutt/muttrc/folder-hooks.html and look at the last set of hooks. This is not exactly what I want. The problem is that it doesn't work with the mailboxes command to cycle through virtual folders with new mail. Moreover, is there a way to link to an IMAP folder (we don't have access to mailboxes via NFS any longer). And using push doesn't work correctly with IMAP folders because the corresponding characters are sent as password characters (for security reasons, I don't store my password on my account, though I could change my mind later). -- Vincent Lefèvre [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Web: http://www.vinc17.org/ - 100% validated (X)HTML - Acorn Risc PC, Yellow Pig 17, Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, TETRHEX, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA
