Kurt, once you've mentioned it. How do I create a maildir folder from
within mutt if my default $mbox_type is mbox?
When I want to create a new folder "foo", I tag some messages and save
them to =foo, mutt asks whether to create "foo" but creates it in mbox
format per $mbox_type.
Well you could make a macro to fiddle $mbox_type. Or fiddle it yourself.
Or you could see my mboxify script elsewhere in this thread for adaption
to your mbox->maildir wish. Its process is to make the maildir from the
script (mkdir foo foo/tmp foo/cur foo/new) and _then_ invoke mutt to do
the message move.
Indeed, after pre-creating the mailbox with
"mkdir -p ~/Mail/foo/{tmp,cur,new}" mutt can save into it.
The only problem left is dovecot's handling of both formats
simultaneously.
That way mutt doesn't make the mailbox and $mbox_type
doesn't come into play.
Thank you!
