This is also true, for example, for qmail-local. Sure. I was speaking with this user's config in mind... She was speaking of reading mail in /var/mail, which implies she's (most likely) using sendmail (or some other MTA not pre-configured to do maildir-style delivery) and (almost certainly) procmail, and of course mutt. Out of whichever three, only procmail cares about the trailing / on the folder name, AFAIK. Postfix would, exim doesn't, but the user is either not using these or consideration of them is irrelevant for this specific case. -- Derek D.
