Mike -- ...and then M. Mueller said... % % Noob here. 3 days. Started email with M$ 10y. Then KMail 2y. Now Mutt 3d. If I Good for you! You're definitely on the right path :-) % need to adjust my thinking, just slap me. Well, I don't know about slap, and I don't know about 'need', but personally I think perhaps you should. A Maildir is designed to have exactly three subdirectories: cur, new, tmp. No more, no less. There are also a couple of files that might be in there, but that's it. Some IMAP server folks came out with the idea of this "extended Maildir" or "Maildir++" or whatever but that doesn't make it right. Is it a big deal? I don't know for sure; mutt tries to be liberal about what it accepts and seems to be able to handle it. But, then, you have this little xyg problem... Assuming your Maildir/ isn't really trying to be a Maildir/ because you have your mbox, it looks like all you need to do is make a Maildir xyg/spool/ or xyg/xyg/ or whatever for your xyg mail. [Of course, if Maildir/ *is* trying to be a maildir, then make Maildir/spool/ as well.] This has come up a few times in the past; check the list archives. As I say above, I don't know if you 'need' to, but not only is it the right thing to do but it might also solve your problem :-) Don't worry about the long explanation; detail is good!
