[YLUG] mutt and IMAP

Hi folks,

I'm hoping some of the avid mutt users on the list could help me.
I use mutt to talk to my IMAP server, and it looks for new mail in the
mailboxes I specify:

set folder=imap://rleigh@nagini.codelibre.net/

mailboxes =INBOX =INBOX.codelibre =INBOX.ukfsn =INBOX.debian =INBOX.debian.admin ...

however, I'd ideally like it to search *all* of the IMAP folders for new
mail.  Is there any way to do that?  Setting every folder in "mailboxes"
is a pain, especially when it needs keeping in sync with my procmail
config and list subs.

Hints on making it work smoothly with multiple IMAP servers would also
be very useful--I've got it working with folder-hook etc., but it's
clunky.


Thanks,
Roger
