mutt courier-imap

2000-12-14 Thread Michael MacDonald

Hi all.

I'm currently trying to be happy with mutt running against
courier-imapd, but I'm currently experiencing grief and frustration.

Basically, what I want is to use procmail to split out mailing list mail
into separate mailboxes like I was doing before I moved to imap.  In my
mutt config, I defined these mailboxes such that they should be checked
for mail, and all was fine.  Since moving to imap, however, I can't seem
to get mutt to check the mailboxes on the imap server.  I can manually
change to the mailboxes, but mutt doesn't seem to know when they get new
mail, and it makes me sad.

In my mutt config, I'm using the format: {server/ssl}INBOX.foo for the
mailboxes.  That format seems to be correct, for when I get into the
directory browser and hit TAB, and then select a mailbox, I change into
that mailbox.  I've also defined a local mailbox, and mutt sees that
just fine.

Can anyone point me in a good direction for solving this problem?  I'm
frustrated because I can't seem to figure out if the problem is with
configuration or if it's implementation problems of the client and/or 
server.

I'm using mutt 1.2.5i (debian potato package recompiled with ssl
support) against courier-imap 0.31.

TIA for any advice.

I've found that using the mutt development version 1.3.12i works much
better for IMAP support. Besides fixing the problem with notifications it
deals with other things better as well (like expunging messages from an
IMAP folder not requiring a re-download of all of the headers in the
mailbox).

However while it is still beta software and has core dumped on me a few
times, I think the IMAP support in 1.3.12i is much more solid than in
1.2.5i
