I'm sorry, the bit about "folder-alias" was just a thought, it might
have come out confusing. My primary folder is not an IMAP mailbox, it's a
local Maildir. But, when I have to access any external IMAP folders, I have
to type "imaps://server.net/INBOX" or something like that. I suggested above
that there could be something like a "folder-alias" that let me map
"imaps://server.net/INBOX" to, say, "server", or "@server", whatever, to
save typing. That would make it easier to access several imap folders in
different servers.
But, again, that wasn't the topic of my message, pay no notice at it
(for the moment :)

So was I, before I had the patch. But it's turned out incredibly
helpful :)

Thanks :)
I have to say, I posted my patch along a thread about that
functionality, that started in mutt-users. I'll post a more proper message,
with "[patch]" in the header and a clear explanation of what it does. That
might catch their attention :)

Yeah, this shows 0 messages in my imap folder as well. But I'm not
even typing ? after <change-folder>, I'm typing <space> to cycle through
mailboxes with new mail. Perhaps the cause for both behaviours is the same,
but I still can't see why mutt doesn't know there's new mail in my imap
folder, even when it's listed in "mailboxes" and I've just left the imap
folder with new mail.
