examples of how to customise the list of maildirs #18

Closed emacsomancer closed 8 years ago

emacsomancer commented 8 years ago

I see that there is customisable "mu4e-maildirs-extension-custom-list", which I assume is how one would control which maildirs are shown, and which subdirectories are shown. Can you provide an example of how to do this?

agpchil commented 8 years ago

Sorry for the late reply! It looks like I removed the examples for this at some point :(

Anyway, mu4e-maildirs-extension-custom-list has the same format as the output of (mu4e-get-maildirs).

You can set it directly with something like this:

(setq mu4e-maildirs-extension-custom-list
      '("/account1/INBOX"
        "/account2/INBOX"))

Or using customize M-x customize-option.

Thanks, I got it to work via (setq...), I'm not sure of the syntax for the M-x customise route.

agpchil commented 8 years ago

I'm glad it worked! :) In the M-x customize you need to insert strings (using the INS button for adding elements to the list) and then save or apply that customization. But maybe setq is easier :)

I'll close this once I fixed the documentation. Feel free to open new issues if you have more questions or problems!
