'c' is bound to change-folder by default, right? When I use that
function in the index, the very first thing that happens is it gives
me a prompt on the bottom line "Open mailbox ('?' for list):"... No
listing is displayed until I type something further. For either a
single '?' or a single <tab>, I get a list of all mailboxes in my
$folder, i.e. the equivalent of 'ls $MAIL'. This, as Colin pointed
out, is a superset of the set of mailboxes specified by the
'mailboxes' command.. possibly a very much larger superset. To get
the listing of those mailboxes, I must hit <tab> after the '?', or
double <tab>. My solution is:
macro index C "<change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>"
As far as I know (as augmented by a grep of the manual) there is no
setting that makes "<change-folder>?" show the "mailboxes to watch for
new mail" by default.
Just another note, regarding my scan of the manual.. Is it
intentional that <toggle-mailboxes> and <check-new> are both bound to
<TAB> in the browser keymap by default? It would seem that the former
clobbers the latter.
