The patch is working great for me, too--thank you, Takahashi-san!
I would second Pete's request that this patch be included in CVS HEAD.
Courier Sam is under the opinion that a trailing dot after the mailbox
name in a SELECT command is illegal. Based on an admittedly quick
reading of RFC 3510, I tend to agree with him: the trailing dot has
significance for other IMAP commands (such as CREATE), but is not
specifically mentioned in the context of SELECT.
Is there any reason mutt adds the trailing dot in the SELECT command?
If not, I propose that the patch be adopted to change this behavior.
