Re: Folder handling/sub-folders

Hello Cliff,

 From kmail I have several child folders that I use for archiving old
 messages. I cannot access these in mutt, I cannot even change
 directory to them, since kmail seems to create them inside directories
 that have names starting with a . and they don;t seem to be seen by
 mutt.

the list of files shown in the files browser depends on the mask
variable:

set mask=!^\\.

Means: don't show any files with leading dot.

Regards,
 Christian

 Hello I am sure this is a FAQ, but I cannot find the answer after
 looking around.  Can mutt handle sub-folders..in my cases directories

Yes, it works perfectly fine with nested maildirs.

 within directories.  I use mutt more and more but until recently have
 been using kmail as well. From kmail I have several child folders that
 I use for archiving old messages. I cannot access these in mutt, I

How about symlinking a little bit? :)

The folders are invisible because of the default setting of $mask. Clear
or change that and you should be fine.

hrmm i had this problem when i still used maildir++ style nested
mailboxes.  You can view the folders though - just change your mask
around.  i used mask=^\\. which will only show directories starting
with a leading dot. 

you can definitely set directories starting with a trailing dot in
'mailboxes' too.  i used to have stuff like:

mailboxes =.info
mailboxes =.labels
mailboxes =.lists:bind
mailboxes +.lists:bind9
mailboxes =.lists:debian-bsd
mailboxes =.lists:mutt
mailboxes =.lists:qmail
