4.12.1. The Folder Browser
As of version 1.2, mutt supports browsing mailboxes on an IMAP
server. This is mostly the same as the local file browser, with the
following differences:
- In lieu of file permissions, mutt displays the string "IMAP",
possibly followed by the symbol "+", indicating
that the entry contains both messages and subfolders. On
Cyrus-like servers folders will often contain both messages and
subfolders.
- For the case where an entry can contain both messages and
subfolders, the selection key (bound to
enter
by default)
will choose to descend into the subfolder view. If you wish to view
the messages in that folder, you must use view-file
instead
(bound to space
by default).
- You can delete mailboxes with the
delete-mailbox
command (bound to d
by default. You may also
subscribe
and unsubscribe
to mailboxes (normally
these are bound to s
and u
, respectively).
