I know it's annoying to have people saying "Try this, try that", but
I went back and read the original thread and this one and the only
meaningful difference between my mutt -v and yours (besides base OS) is
that you have the compression patch compiled in.
If it's not too much of a pain, could you recompile 1.2.5 /without/ that
patch and see if switching between a plain (uncompressed) mbox and a
maildir works? I use maildirs for my inbox and each mailing list I'm on,
but use mbox for sent mail, postponed mail and spam I intend to deal
with at a later time - I have no trouble switching between them. This
would at least establish a baseline "works or doesn't work".
Also, a final shot-in-the-dark: When you dropped back from 1.3.x to
1.2.5, did you change patches? I seem to recall different compression
patches based on version and I wonder if the 1.3.x patch would apply
successfully but screw something up? (I haven't checked the code...
that's next!)
