hmm interesting...I have always used mbox format...I think I looked at maildir
once...
I have a much more simple setup :)
I just have ~/mail for all of my incomming mail mailboxes...and
~/mail/read/ for all my mboxes of mail that has been read already and
I let mutt sort out what mail has been read and what hasn't.
maybe it is time to revise my system a bit...
BTW its sortt of another topic (ok completly) but...in mutt
what is the definition of = or + in a mailbox name?
I had the darndest time setting it up to tell it which files are incomming and
which read mail should be moved to...I got it finnaly but I couldnever
find a good definition of the differecne and what they actually
mean
this all reminds me...I was working on a project involving mail...I must
resserect that.,..
