Description

My imap server has a nested folder foo/bar. Sadly, mutt does not see bar within foo; it merely reports foo as an empty folder.

However, if I delete foo/{cur,new,tmp}, mutt will happily show bar as a subdirectory of foo. Life is good.

Then offlineimap refreshes again... and puts foo/{cur,new,tmp} back again. bar returns to oblivion.

Perhaps there could be (or even is) an option to tell offlineimap "create {cur,new,tmp} only where the directory has no other subdirectories"?

Version: 4.0.14

My mutt is 1.5.12.

Nick,

Would it work for you to use a flat naming scheme, more like foo.bar instead of foo/bar? That's what I use, and within mutt, the two seem to be functionally equivolent.

I don't know but I'm willing to try. How do I move to a flat naming scheme?
