Package: mutt
Version: 1.7.0-6
Followup-For: Bug #838992

Hi Antonio,

Let me reply in behalf of jackson for

a) What directory do you expect instead?
the one set by 'set folder' in .muttrc

b) where is directory that you expect, set in .muttrc?
see a

I am not sure if this behavior was on purpose, but it used to work and be convenient.

For instance, see the difference between mutt <=1.6 & 1.7 when:
.muttrc contains 'set folder=~/my/mail/mailboxes'
~/my/mail/mailboxes contains following mailboxes
   mybox1 mybox2 ...
key 'c' is binded to change-folder (default)

[in mutt 1.6 or earlier]
pressing keys 'c' '?' open folder ~/my/mail/mailboxes
then it list mybox1 mybox2 ...
then it is very convenient to open those mailboxes: just move the cursor on 1 of them and press enter. 

[from mutt 1.7]
pressing keys 'c' '?' open folder /var/mail
then one need to select with the cursor
..
..
home
myaccount
my
mail
mailboxes
then it list mybox1 mybox2 ...

Needless to say that this it much less convenient.

BR, Franck
