In the end, I had to use the following: set spoolfile=imap://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ # default, set folder=imap://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ # '=' refers to this set record="=INBOX.Sent" mailboxes = "INBOX" This may be wrong, but it seems to work. If I add INBOX to folder, then when I try to navigate back to the inbox from elsewhere, and [tab] on the IMAP item in the list it offers me imap:.....place.net/INBOX/INBOX which is to say it appends {'/' . $mailboxes} to $folder. That means that even if I make $mailboxes null, I still get the extra '/' and cannot open the inbox. The way I did it, I can both navigate back to INBOX and save copies of sent mail to Sent. It is not congruent with any instructions I have seen anywhere else, but it works for me. Thanks to all who helped me get thus far. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
