No. Doesn't work. I've tried:
set folder=imap://phorce1.sytes.net/
set folder=imap://phorce1.sytes.net/INBOX.
and it still lists the FULL path when showing the folders that I have
set as "mailboxes=".
When I ssh in from a Winbox with Putty it's OK because Putty does a
nice, CLEAN, wide column format so I get a readable 132 column screen.
When I'm sitting at the local console I always have my video set to
25x80 for readability. I always keep my server installs as simple as
possible and the only way to get a clean, readable, 132 column display
out of today's VGA cards on a normal TTY is to start screwing around
with framebuffers at the kernel level.
With the 80 column screen things like:
1 4
imap://phorce1.sytes.net:xxxx/INBOX/sysmatrix-net.mutt
get chopped off right about the "sysmatrix" part. Impossible to tell
which folder is what without actually opening them. I've had to make a
"cheat sheet" to keep by the monitor since they are always in the same
order.
1. BSKA
2. HVWC
3. VVW
4. ...
...
22. Mutt
23. Xmail
(They are actually alphabetical but some are in subfolders -- like
BSKA is a top level folder INBOX.BSKA but Mutt is
INBOX.sysmatrix-net.mutt).
So, is there a way to get Mutt to not display the "common path"
(imap://phorce1.sytes.net:xxxx/INBOX.) or is there a way to get it to
drop the HUGE space between the "New message count" and the start of
the folder name (looks to be 33 or 34 columns, that would be 4 [TAB]s
plus 1 or 2 spaces).

SMTP AUTH the way he wants -- but always enjoys learning something
