I think you just don't know > how to use Mutt properly... FWIW, this sort of comment (and possibly other things I wrote) may come off sounding insulting, but that wasn't my intent. I just mean to say that it sounds like you may not be aware of all of Mutt's functionality regarding handling different mail folders, and maybe the reason you think that handling your mail this way won't work for you is more because of that than any technical deficiency... > I suggest you start Mutt with "mutt -y" on the command line.

Also, note that your muttrc can get its configuration programatically, so if it's more convenient to do this (than listing them explicitly) you can write a program to print out the mailboxes commands you want to use. If you found it useful to change the set of mailboxes to use with your categories, you would use unmailboxes to delete the original ones, and then use mailboxes to add the category ones. -- Derek D.
