I giving wanderlust a try and what I seem not able to 'fix' is the structure of my imap folders. For year I have worked in a server that does not allow to have messages in a folder that contains more folders, which has been no real limitation for the way I like to surf my emails. Only the leaves contain messages. At the same time, you are probably guessing that I have a lot of folders within other folders and so on. <br /><br />Is there a was in wanderlust to properly match my current imap folder structure with something that will look similar to the graphical representation I get in thunderbird, for example. Access groups and petnames I have tried, but I do not get to good results.ramesticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07816368444094883988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992530807750384868.post-68728416742104017272009-09-21T19:47:10.648+03:002009-09-21T19:47:10.648+03:00@Anonymous: you could use wl-template-alist:
