Re: $set folder variable



sorry about this - i think i've worked it out. didn't need my user-name or 
password, just the server name. 

Kyle - i have been reading the man page as you suggested and also check the 
wiki-faq's, etc. As i'm using the IMAP server for storing mail, sent, received, 
etc, do i need to have an mbox vaiable setting in my muttrc?
