Local Drafts folder?

[Hippo Man]

I have several IMAP accounts and folders which I am managing via offilineimap.

However, in mu4e, I'd like to have a single Drafts folder which holds all the drafts for all the emails that I am writing, irrespective of the account.

Also, I don't want this Drafts folder to be part of the offlineimap directory structure. I'd like it to be a maildir in a different location within my local filesystem. In other words, it would not be located in any subdirectory of `mu4e-maildir'.

Is there any way to specifiy a full pathname for my Drafts folder which will used as is, without it being concatenated to`mu4e-maildir'?

Thank you.

That's easy; in fact, that's the default behavior.

You can keep your drafts out of the offlineimap structure either
excluding it from syncing. Alternatively, you could do something like:

Maildir/account1
Maildir/account2
Maildir/drafts

Maildirs must live under `mu4e-maildir' structure though.

Cheers,
Dirk.

OK. I can live with Drafts under mu4e-maildir as long as I excluse it from syncing.

Thank you.
