Why use a non-standard secure port? I mean, if you have a particular 
reason, that's cool, I'm just thinking: Dovecot *can* use the standard 
secure port (I use Dovecot for precisely that).

Yes - anything that tells mutt how to talk to the IMAP server needs to 
be updated whenever you change your IMAP server's settings. That's one 
reason the $folder shortcut is so convenient, because you can do this:

     set folder="imaps://mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:12345/"
     set spoolfile="+"
     set record="+Sent"
     set postponed="+Drafts"

Thus, if you ever change your IMAP settings again, you only have to 
change ONE setting (the $folder setting), instead of four. (Keep in 
mind, though, that order is important: define $folder BEFORE the other 
ones.)

Sure, that's one way that would work. :)

Glad I could help!
