I thought about posting essentially that, only for Maildir format; I use the
simplest

        mv the_mailbox_name/new/* the_mailbox_name/cur

although strictly speaking that's not quite right; I should do something like

        (cd the_mailbox_name/new;ls|perl -lne 'rename $_,"../cur/$_:2,S"')

or thereabouts to add the "flags" to the filename. Mutt doesn't seem to mind
my Maildir abuse, though:-).
