Dear list,

our E-mail-Server uses dovecot, which delivers mail to and from
a folder containing subfolders names e.g.
~/Maildir/.lists.mutt-users.

There are good reasons to use mutt directly on the machine from time
to time. Unfortunately, these folder names aren't exactly suitable
for mutt use. It works, but the leading dot is a pain, and tab
completion only honours '/' as a delimiter for folders, not '.'.

I have a complex shell script to maintain a symlink farm, but it's
suboptimal and hackish.

Do you have alternative approaches? I do not want to use mutt's IMAP
for localhost access, nor do I want to set up offlineimap on
localhost.

How can I map the IMAP folder names to proper folder names arranged
in a proper hierarchy (~/Maildir/.lists.mutt-users
→ ~/mail/lists/mutt-users)?

Thanks for any comments,
