Re: Can one get at the current mailbox name (directory)?
I successfully use the below approach for syncing current folder with the same on IMAP: --- folder-hook . "source ~/.mutt/on-folder-change.muttrc" --- where on-folder-change.muttrc is: --- set record = ^ set my_folder = `echo $record | sed 's#.*/##'` macro index,pager o ":unset wait_keyclear; printf '# syncing =$my_folder\\n\\n'; mbsync $my_folder:set wait_key" "sync current folder" --- Hope this helps.

Haven't tried using a caret in such a command myself. Let us know how you get on. I tried 'set my_xxx=^' and it just set the variable to ^ which wasn't very helpful! -- Chris Green -- Cheers, Oleg A.

Can one get at the current mailbox name (directory)?
Is there a way of accessing the current mailbox name (i.e. for maildir the directory name) in mutt? This is so I can put it in things like a 'set editor=' command to pass to the 'editor'. -- Chris Green
