Hi Russell,
I have mail files like:

Mail/floss/debian.user

and if I change to maildir, I think it would become:

Maildir/floss.debian.user

which if I understand it would be like:

Mail/floss/debian/user

so how do I avoid that or how should I alter the name "debian.user"?
Maybe debian-user?
Cheers,
Kev
