Mutt's "change folder" function has a show-folders mode with will show everything in ~/Mail/inbox without using the "mailboxes" setting. | I can certainly pull mail from my ISP without issues, I'm unsure how to | now seperate them into the above while preserving the many emails that | currently live in the above dirs. As Todd says, fetchmail to pull the mail and procmail to file it into the folders. You have a lot of mail already filed in these folders - was Claws doing this filing for you?
