Mutt still doesn't recognize new messages in my imap folder. I tried
using both "imaps://server/INBOX" and "{server/ssl}inbox" formats, I tried
to unset imap_passive (it connects to the server, but doesn't report new
messages), but still nothing. In mailboxes-view it shows "0" messages (even
though at the moment there are 15 messages, one of which is new),
buffy-cycle completely ignores it.
Any thoughts?
