I already use the M command to 'unmask' a hidden directory and get to
'other places'. However the above won't work for me because where you
have ".mail_archive" I have a directory not a mail folder and the
result for me is an error about the destination not being a mailbox.
At least I don't think it will work, what do you have in
~/.mail_archive?
What does:-
<change-folder-readonly>~/.mail_archive/.<complete><complete>
actually do? OK, I understand what the <change-folder-readonly>
command is doing and ~.mail_archive makes sense but what's that "/."
doing on the end?
However I have just realised that the 'y' command/key in index does
almost exactly what I want as the 'other hierarchy' I want to go to is
essentially my incoming mailboxes area. How do I find out what the
full key sequence generated by 'y' is?
