For some reason Mutt doesn't list any info about IMAP folders and seems to ignore folder_format.

Doesn't have anything to with dovecot, does it?

It looks as if folder_format option of mutt as only for local folders, and will not work for IMAP.

I was grasping at straws and hoping someone here may know.

As mentioned this may be one for the mutt list. But it should work with IMAP:

set imap_user="user@domain.tld" set folder="imap://host.domain.tld/" set spoolfile="imap://host.domain.tld/INBOX" set index_format="%4C %Z %2M %[!%Y.%m.%d %H:%M] %-30.30F (%5c) %s"

After much messing about with mutt and suggestions on the list, it seems that when mutt displays the imap mailbox list it works, but the normal folder browser doesn't work with %N.

Thanks for you help
