Why not? It scales very well here with [16:55] ei:~% generate_mutt_mailboxes|wc -l 578 folders (Using jfs on top of aes-encrypted dm-crypt volume on a g3-ibook it takes less than 5 seconds). > Specialy if you prefer some important folders > opened with <TAB> before the rest. That's true, it does not attemp in any way to sort them. It uses your predefined order in Maildir/. > And if you use "~/Maildir/.folder.folder.mailbox/" you run into > trouble too. Why that? > What about: > > <http://michelle.konzack.home.tamay-dogan.homelinux.net/linux/tdimapmailboxes/> Nice, if you want to name all main folders explicit. As I create/remove folders often, I am much to lazy and that's why I do use it. For pre-sorting and grouping in preferred order, which is different from the Maildir structure, your script will be perhaps the better solution. Nico -- Keep it simple & stupid, use what's available.
