I run mutt (1.0.1i) on a local mail host (using mbox mailboxes)and use a number of folder hooks as follows: folder-hook =Lists/Mutt-users 'macro index <left><change-folder>?<tab>9<enter>' This works fine. I now try to use mutt (1.2.5i) over imap to the same box and have the following folder hook folder-hook '{hobbiton}Mail/Lists/Mutt-users' 'macro index <left><change-folder>?<tab>10<enter>' where {hobbiton}Mail/Lists/Mutt-users in the browser gets me into the correct mailbox. Ths folder hook doesn't work, in fact, I get errors on startup Invalid content of \{\} for the line in question. If I define the macro without the folder hook, it works fine. If if define the folder hook like: folder-hook Mail/Lists/Mutt-users 'macro index<left><change-folder>?<tab>10<enter>' mutt accepts the folder hook but doesn't act on it. Any ideas? Second problem. I'm using imap-4.7-5 on the server and am getting irritating delays accessing email. I'm in a folder and hit <tab> for the next unread. Sometimes I get it almost instantly while other times (I'm thinking a folder refresh or something here), it takes up to 30 seconds or so and I get these two messages: Message 1425 UID 468 less than 1425 Message 168 UID 3481 greater than last 170 Mean anything to anyone? Better imap server? I don't get such delays using M$ Outlook Express from the same client box to the same server for the same user.
