> Hi, I'm writing a script to mark all new mail read, including all mail

> filename.

I spot a issue with folders having a space in them. Then your script would not
work.

Out of my head without testing, I would do it that way:
----cut here---
#!/bin/bash
find ~/.maildir/ -type d -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -name "new" | while read foo
do
cd "${foo}" && {
for bar in *
do
mv -iv ${bar} ../cur/${bar}:2,S
done
}
done
----end cut here---
