I was just now browsing the mutt documentation. A lot, badly
organized. Do you use mutt to access an IMAP server? If so, how do you
tell mutt where your server is? (I want to use a nonstandard port in
127.0.0.1, where I have a ssh tunnel to my office box, where dovecot
serves only the localhost.) I know how to do this with pine, but as for
mutt...The file
file:///usr/share/doc/mutt-1.5.13-r1/advancedusage.html#imap
says: "If you want to access another mail folder at the IMAP server, you
should use imap://imapserver/path/to/folder (...)". I would understand
this kind of syntax if mutt were a browser... What do they mean by
"use"?!
