Hi Rodrigo -

I do not think that this functionality exists currently in WL. If
access groups and the wl-folder-hierarchy-access-folders do not suit
you, you could take a look at the function wl-folder-get-petname and
redefine it to match using a regex against the
wl-folder-petname-alist, for instance:

(defun wl-folder-get-petname (name)
  (let ((replace (elmo-string-matched-assoc name wl-folder-petname-alist)))
    (if replace
        (replace-match (cdr replace) t nil name)
      name)))

(setq wl-folder-petname-alist
  '(("^%\\(.*\\)@imap\\.gmail\\.com:993!$" . "%\\1@gmail")))

best,
Erik
