remote imap and mutt

2004-04-24 Thread Dick Hoogendijk
I'm getting a little desperate..

I run the courier package, including imapd-ssl.
My cli mail agent is mutt.

If I'm logged in locally everything works very well, but I want to use
mutt on another fbsd box an connect to my imap maildir *remotely*

No matter what I try; all I see is my inbox. My other (remote) folders
don't show up in the folder browser. If I tap c - TAB the local
Maildir shows up. I tried options like imap_home_namespace but nothing
works. Surely I can do a NFS mount of my remote ~Maildir but I rather
not want that if mutt itself is able to do the job.

Can anybody tell me the mutt options to show my other imap folders on
the remote imap server?

The imap settings in .muttrc are:

set imap_user=dick
set imap_pass=*
set imap_home_namespace=imap://lothlorien/home/dick/Maildir
set spoolfile=imap://lothlorien/INBOX
set folder=~/Maildir
set mbox_type=Maildir
set mask=!^[a-z]
set postponed=+.draft
set record=+.outbox

This does not work ;-( The manual states it should be possible to have
the imap mailfolders in a listing. But I want to know how. Please..

 The imap settings in .muttrc are:

This is hardly a FBSD question, and would be handled on the Mutt list, as
its substance is about Mutt configuration. However, here is your answer.

First off, I have different .muttrc files for different IMAP servers, much
easier to customize this way... I then call it .. mutt -F .muttrc2 or some
such. 

Second, using below, you are not using SSL, as you say above.. you need

set ssl_starttls=yes

these are optional

set mail_check=60
set timeout=30
 
and to manage your certs when using SSL, so you do not have to say yes
each time you log on, you need..

set ssl_usesystemcerts=yes
set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates

 set imap_user=dick
 set imap_pass=*
 set imap_home_namespace=imap://lothlorien/home/dick/Maildir
 set spoolfile=imap://lothlorien/INBOX
 set folder=~/Maildir
 set mbox_type=Maildir
 set mask=!^[a-z]
 set postponed=+.draft
 set record=+.outbox

third, you need to list your mailboxes from your IMAP server in your
.muttrc file, then they will show up..

mailboxes =INBOX =INBOX/sent =INBOX/whatever =INBOX/store =INBOX/bsd
