I'll persevere, then. > For the above problem, the following might help. > > mailboxes =Inbox =mylug =debian =tuglist =deb-devel =prosper I tried mailboxes =INBOX =lists =blahblah... but still if I navigate up to 1 IMAP+ INBOX. 2 IMAP+ INBOX. (BTW, I do not see why it gives it twice - they both behave the same) and use [enter] to select the INBOX, I get only a directory listing of all the subfolders. I cannot see the incoming mail in the INBOX. That is visible when first logged on, and I can work with that as long as I do not visit another folder. > With that pressing 'c' shows the mailbox with the new mail. When I press 'c', I get Chdir to: imap://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX. and [enter] moves to the folder listing again.

On reflection, I guess that is not a mutt problem - probably means exim is not set up right.
