Thanks! Doesn't that need to produce some output, or does mutt have a
way to assign the content of "dirs" from the script to "mailboxes"?
And it would require that there are exclusively maildirs in the
directory you supply as parameter to the script because it doesn't
distinguish between maildirs and directories. That's a distinction a
script needs to make.
What I have is like:
~/Mail
ARCHIVE # directory containing maildirs and/or files or directories
Maildir # that's the inbox
lists # directory containing maildirs
mutt-users
debian-user
...
drafts
spam
trash
Per # directory containing maildirs and/or files or directories
ARCHIVE # directory containing maildirs and/or files or directories
person-1
person-2
...
Gov # directory containing maildirs and/or files or directories
...
Com # directory containing maildirs and/or files or directories
...
file-1
file-2
logfile
mboxfile
...
A script to automatically set up the mailboxes would have to check all
directories under ~/Mail and create mailbox statements for only those
that are maildirs.
