[plug] IMAP Joys & MUTT

[Timothy White]

I have just discovered the joys of IMAP. When I needed to read my mail 
from a different computer to usual (a nice text based P133 32Mb RAM), I 
found it quite easy with MUTT. I love the threaded view and found it 
very quick and easy to use including for HTML mail (Using links I 
think.) The best part was I could read mail and it would appear read my 
normal box and I didn't have to try to use a frames based session under 
SquirrelMail on a text console.
Just a few questions.
1) How can I make it 'select' which IMAP folder to use without having to 
reconnect to the server each time (by pressing c and typing imap://...) 
and with out changing it to use IMAP by default (as for now I still need 
to read local mail occasionally on that box)
2) How can I make it show just threads that have been tagged or have 
unread mail in them. Under Thunderbird All PLUG goes into 1 box and I 
have it set to only show threads with unread, then about once a month I 
clean it out. It means that (in mutt) I have to scroll through pages of 
subjects (collapse the threads first) to find current ones.
3) Anybody got some nice MUTT tips?
Thanks
Tim
