1.4.3-1 from sid.
Ah, it _just_ started working! but I'm afraid I didn't notice what I might
have done to fix it. It may have been as simple as renaming ~/maildir to
~/Maildir.
Next up is to set up pine for imap (collections, it seems) so that pine
and squirrelmail can share the Maildir folders. If it all works, then I
need to convert a bunch of mbox files to maildir format. I did a search
and found a script for this.
After that, install some plugins!
