mutt and maildir(?)



Hi all,

I'm trying something New and Different with my mail configuration.
Until fairly recently I have used mutt to access an IMAP server.  Now
I have decided I want procmail, so I am using fetchmail to get the
mail, which forwards it to exim, which pipes it through procmail,
which dumps each message in a separate file in a directory named like:

$HOME/Mail/<folder_name>/msg.3F7

I gather that this is called a 'maildir' mailbox.  I can't get mutt to
look at it, though.  The closest I could find to a tip about this is
that MH mail directories need a .mh_sequences file.  Do I just need to
create this file (empty) and then everything will work?  Or is there
some other way to get mutt to read this mail directory?
