- It doesn't work with the mutt 'tunnel' variable. imapd should run by calling it from the command line and read/writing from its stdout/stdin. The tunnel variable specifies a command to be executed to run an imapd in this way on a remote (or even local) machine. mutt cannot login when using this method.
- I really want to run mutt on my maildir directories without going through imap. mutt is very fast in handling maildir directories especially doing regular expression searches and while imap is great for remote access to a mailbox I'm sorry to say that when I'm on a machine where the mailboxes are local imap slows this down considerably.
I have had some success with courier managed maildirs and mutt. Maybe these settings can help you (my home is /home/binand, mails land by default into /home/binand/Maildir, and I have a few sub folders there). Here are some settings:
set folder="/home/binand/Maildir" set spoolfile="/home/binand/Maildir" set mask="^\\.[^\\.]" set mbox_type="maildir"
Creating a folder is a problem; if I can find a way to ask mutt to use maildirmake to create a non-existent folder, then I am happy. :-)
Incidentally, the tunnel variable also works for me with mutt and courier. What is the exact problem you are facing? You need to have non-interactive login on the imap server setup for it to work. If your IMAP server is localhost, then you can just run /path/to/imapd Maildir as your tunnel command, I suppose.
