Hi All,

I have directly created imap folders on the server in my INBOX directory ...

The problem is that mutt refuse to display these new folders !

I use cache ..

Is it possible to refresh mutt cache in order to be able to use my new folders on mutt ?

Thanks a lot for your help

If after (c)hange folder you press the ?-key the list of folders
displayed depends on the boolean imap_list_subscribed setting, which
defaults to 'no' so likely it's set in your config.

| This variable configures whether IMAP folder browsing will look for
| only subscribed folders or all folders. This can be toggled in the IMAP
| browser with the <toggle-subscribed> function.

toggle-subscribed is per default bound to the T key in folder view. You
can (s)ubscribe and (u)nsubscribe to a folder there.

The mailboxes command in your configuration adds folders to be listed in
the subscribed view, these folders are also polled for new mail, which
for subscribed folders happens only if imap_check_subscribed is set:

| When set, mutt will fetch the set of subscribed folders from your
| server on connection, and add them to the set of mailboxes it polls for
| new mail just as if you had issued individual “mailboxes” commands.

For example, I have something like

mailboxes !
mailboxes SomeFolder
mailboxes SomeDir/OtherFolder

These are also the folders offered when after (c)hange folder pressing
the Tab-key twice.
