I want to ask: Why do you care what the filenames are (that they have hostnames in them)? The mail client and server certainly doesn't care, it just needs unique names. So if you can get mail files from machine A onto machine B, it'll just use them however they're named. They don't need to have the same filename as its hostname. Trying to change maildir filenames requires care, so you don't break the mail system. And you use a mail client to read your messages, it gives you an interface where you don't need to know the filenames that it's making use of. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 25 17:23:54 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
