% Yep. The "right" way is to have only {cur,new,tmp} dirs in your maildir
% and no others, even though at least some imapd programs have "enhanced"
% or "extended" the spec and put more maildirs under a top one.
I forgot to mention that my choice would be something like
home/
davidtg/
Mail/
lists/
mutt/
mutt-users/
mutt-dev/
nix/
suse/
suse/
suse-linux-e/
family/
dad/
dad/
dad-boats/
mom/
mom/
mom-ballet/
and so on where you can have a directory structure (instead of the dot
thing, which is just an imapd way of separating directories) and yet not
pollute each maildir (above: mutt-users, mutt-dev, suse, suse-linux-e,
dad, dad-boats, mom, mom-ballet). I *could* have family/dad/ as a
maildir with dad-boats/ under that, but it's wrong. See
http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html
for the full spec.
