Thanks for clarification. BTW iirc support for maildir within a maildir
(i.e. a mailfolder containing both messages and subfolders) is a
little bit more limited than basic maildir support, some clients
support basic maildir but not maildir within a maildir. I just cannot
remember which ones, perhaps Debians patched versions of pine/UW-IMAP?
I agree that debianutils could be the correct package.
