[neomutt-users] How to automatically inform neomutt of all mailboxes?

[Jakub Jindra]

Hi,

that's because you have nested maildirs.

You can try adding line below to neomutt configuration. It  fills 
neomutt mailboxes command with output of find. The find searches find 
searches for all directories (most probably maildirs) under your ~/Mail 
directory which aren't named cur, new or tmp.

mailboxes `find ~/Mail -type d -not \( -name cur -or -name new -or -name tmp \)`
