Mutt folder navigation

Hi. I just made the switch over from Alpine to Mutt (mainly for better PGP support) It has been challenging figuring out how the .muttrc should be configured, but I seem to have successfully set things up so that I can press the "c" key, and Mutt will give me a list of folders that I can switch to. However, this list never includes the main INBOX folder itself, so once I have switched to a sub-folder, I cannot figure out how to switch back without restarting Mutt. Is there a command for this, or do I have to add something to .muttrc?

By the way, the INBOX and the folders are all on an IMAP account, if that makes any difference.

Hi.

I'm using mutt with an IMAPs server - here's my muttrc:

Code:

set folder="imaps://mail/"

set spoolfile=+

set move=no

set from="ilikejam <ilikejam@yourmumsbedroom.com>"

set copy=yes

set record=+Sent

set certificate_file=~/.muttcerts

set imap_user=ilikejam

set envelope_from=yes

set sort=threads

set mime_forward=ask-no

set mime_forward_rest=yes

set markers=no

set timeout=15



ignore *

unignore date from subject to cc reply-to

The inbox comes up as INBOX at the top level.

I found that if, after pressing 'c', I enter simply '=' for the folder name, this takes me back to my main inbox. A fairly fast and convenient way to get back, actually.
