Re: How to get default "From:" to work



No, the maildir folders are not nested, here is the structure:

~/mail->
->firstbox
->secondbox
->thirdbox
->fourthbox

I compiled mutt by myself, maybe there is a specific option to pass to 
configure?

I had previously the same config in Slackware, and it worked like a charm.
