My first question on this site, I come quickly.
I'm a fan of command line tools and text-based application. I use tmux with a minimalist tiling wm is qtile, I can not change the environment. I'm a developer, I mainly use Python and Perl.
My first question is about mutt a great client. I use the sidebar to be able to display mailboxes. I used imap with google accounts, Here is my configuration:
account-hook . 'unset preconnect imap_user imap_authenticators'
#First account
account-hook 'imaps://[email protected]@imap.gmail.com:993/' \
' set imap_user = "[email protected]" \
imap_pass = "password" '
folder-hook 'imaps://[email protected]@imap.gmail.com:993/INBOX' \
' set imap_user = "[email protected]" \
imap_pass = "1password" \
smtp_url = "smtp://[email protected]@smtp.gmail.com:587/" \
smtp_pass = "password" \
from = "[email protected]" \
realname = "Natal Ngétal" \
folder = "imaps://[email protected]@imap.gmail.com:993" \
spoolfile = "+INBOX" \
postponed="+[Gmail]/Drafts" \

So it works well, I can see both my inbox and when there are new posts in it. But when I open mutt it first opened a local box, I do not understand why, and to see the new posts in other inbox, I have to move first in each of they. Maybe it's normal, but how by asking mutt to open domain.com for example first and not a local one that does not exist.
