It's unclear why they would use this '.' format. For instance, if you were using procmail (which I recall you do not like, for some reason), you simply would give it a rule like this: :0 # make this as complicated as needed to match your mail specifically * mutt-users Folders/mutt-users/ Note the trailing slash. This is what tells procmail to use maildir format, and if it does so it creates real directories. The heirarchy would look like: $MAILDIR/Folders/mutt-users $MAILDIR/Folders/mutt-users/cur $MAILDIR/Folders/mutt-users/new $MAILDIR/Folders/mutt-users/old [MAILDIR is the variable procmail uses to determine where to put your mail... it has nothing to do with Maildir format.] > However my issue is more with MUAs which don't play > nicely together using the same maildirs (and also utilities for > manipulating maildirs as they're so painful to manage 'by hand'). I'm not aware of any utilities that can't deal with that organization, though of course that doesn't preclude the possibility. -- Derek D.
