Unable to use `gs`, `gt` shortcuts to go to sent and trash emails respectively on gmail account #959

Closed paniash closed 9 months ago

Hi,

I have a gmail institutional account that I use for email and noticed when running neomutt, the binds gs, gt, etc. don't go to sent, trash emails respectively. I get the following error message: /home/ashish/.local/share/mail/<EMAIL>/Sent is not a mailbox when pressing gs for instance.

Upon inspecting the maildir folders, I notice that they've been kept at ~/.local/share/mail/<EMAIL>/[Gmail]/'Sent Email' and ~/.local/share/mail/<EMAIL>/[Gmail]/Bin respectively. Even though the account specific neomuttrc contains the lines:

set trash = "+Trash"
set record = "+Sent"

Not sure why isync labels the folders as such instead of "Sent" and "Trash".

I'd say you then need to modify the entries in the <youremail>.muttrc.

e.g.

set record = "+[GMAIL]/Sent Email"

If that doesn't work, then play around with the values.

The set record, set trash etc is setting folder paths from the root folder of the account.

So you need to make sure that the path in your .muttrc and the path in your file system match.
