Hi David,

I used to use mbox format and save mailing list mail to eg:
~/mail/lists/mutt-users@mutt.org
Now that I've switched to IMAP + Maildir I'm using the following:
~/mail/.lists.mutt-users@mutt_org/
Note how I've had to change the '.' in the domain name to an
underscore so that it doesn't get seen as a subfolder.
So I'm just wondering how people here cope with organising mailing
lists with Maildir and any tips/tricks that may be a better way than
my present way.
well, what is your IMAP server? If you use dovecot check out the :LAYOUT=fs
option to the mail_location. It will allow you to use the layout you used
to have with maildirs. Than you can probaply even reuse your old scripts.
You can read about the details here:

Thanks Andre and James
I had previously read how to setup dovecot with a '/' separator but I
kept getting namespace errors when connecting. After some testing of
various settings this is what worked for me:
mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs
namespace {
separator = /
prefix =
hidden = no
inbox = yes
list = yes
}
Then I reverted to my old layout of a 'lists' dir and changed my
procmail settins etc.
