What does it show?

While in ~/Maildir:

$ ls -l new cur|grep `grep '^3 ' dovecot-uidlist|sed 's/^3 //'`

I suspect that my shell's not telling me what my pwd is in the prompt and some mistaken assumptions on my part might be a good bunch of my problem. :)

To that effect:

$ echo $PS1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Though I kinda lied; I said "mkdir mail" assuming my pwd was "~" when in fact I didn't know what actual my pwd is, rather than a "mkdir ~/mail". As such, that phantom message appeared in my inbox.

Since this is not a production machine (well, yet, anyway), I wiped things and tried again. Things appear to be OK now.

Sorry about making you go through a Stupid Moment(R) of mine and thanks for the tips. :)
