Me again :)

So, I've got mutt talking to an imap server across my LAN. I've got an
INBOX folder defined, with several subdirectories. You can see a
screenshot here:
http://inkedmn.com:8000/stuff/mutt-imapdir.png

For example, (and as you can see) I've got INBOX.Saved defined as an
imap folder on my server. But, when I try to copy a message to that
folder, I get prompted to create the directory...
http://inkedmn.com:8000/stuff/mutt-imapprompt.png

Now, I'm assuming this means that it's not looking to my imap folders
on the server (perhaps trying to create local directories, not sure).
I'm not sure how to set it up so I can copy/move messages to different
imap folders from within mutt.

Also, would it be possible to create new imap subdirectories from
within mutt? Like INBOX.Bullcrap or whatever...

Thanks!

"set record=imap://toulouse/foldername" accordingly, eg
"set record=imap://toulouse/INBOX.Saved"?

wild guess: save them to "imap://toulouse/INBOX.bullcrap"?
