No.


:) E.g. I tried adding one through M S (X) L A:

:) 

:) Nickname  : vsm

:) Server    :

:) Path      : /var/spool/mail/

:) View      : bhaskell

:) 

:) But, this creates a folder collection that shows:

:) 

:)                  Local folders in /var/spool/mail/

:) ----------------------------------------------------------

:) 

:) .bhaskell/     bhaskell       old-bhaskell/

:) 

:) 

:) The other folders are various dovecot-related tests I'd run in the 

:) past, but the problem is that the 'bhaskell' view specification is 

:) treated as if I'd entered: '*bhaskell*'.

:) 

:) Is this a bug or the intended behavior? If the latter, is there an 

:) option to prevent it?


The help text for "View:" says:

The collection's "View:" definition provides a way to limit the displayed
list of folders within a collection. By default, only folders that
contain the specified characters anywhere in their name are shown in the
collection's folder list.
