Solved mutt: problem with a folder.

Developer
Hello!

I moved on from mail/trojita to mail/mutt and I am experiencing a problem with the "Mail Collector" folder.

The mail provider is GMX and it do create a folder with the name of the e-mail account it is "collecting", name.surname@example.com.

That folder perfect works on mail/trojita, however on mail/mutt the folder appear on the list but return unknown folder when trying to access it.

mail/mutt is grabbing the folders using set imap_check_subscribed, I also tried to set that folder manually but I had the same result.

Also, at the side panel the folder name appear like this: name/surname@example/com

Any idea? :)

Thank you in advance!

EDIT:

### General ###

set assumed_charset    = 'iso-8859-1'

set message_cachedir    = ~/.cache/.mutt/messages

Thanks. :)
 
I'm using mail/mutt for many years, however, I prefer using mail/isync to sync imap folders and mutt - to read and send mail.
I don't remember what exactly didn't work with mutt at the very beginning of my experience, but this configuration perfectly works: mail/isync (mbsync command line utility) syncs folders every 1-5 minutes (depending on account, using cron), and always running mutt updates the views automatically.
