Package: sylpheed-claws-maildir-plugin
Version: 0.7-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
I'd like to have a special .inbox directory under the maildir mailbox
directory. Mutt doesn't like the current layout, and it seems
conceptionally better to me to have the maildir directory layed out like
a tree, where only the leaf nodes contain data.
I've written a patch that does this in a backwards-compatible way. To
get the new layout you have to manually create a .inbox file in your
maildir mailbox directory. If that directory exists maildir-plugin will
use it as inbox, otherwise the current directory (maildir mailbox root)
is used.
If you wish I can also provide a script to automatically convert between
the two styles.
Cheers,
Greek0
