As per my recent questions and (successful) report I have just moved
from using mbox to maildir. I'm generally happy with the result,
apart from anything else it simplifies my custom MDA script and also
some other utilities.
However there is a minor downside in the file browser (well directory
browser really isn't it), the information shown against the
directories (at the bottom level these are maildir mailboxes) is
pretty useless, what I am seeing now is like the following:-
selling/ Sep 25 12:39 0K
shopping/ Sep 25 12:39 0K
software/ Sep 25 12:39 0K
telecoms/ Sep 25 12:39 0K
No size information and the date is just the date of creation of the
parent directory, not the latest message. With mbox you get a 'last
message' date and a meaningful size.
Are there any configuation options to improve this for maildir?
This is by no means a show stopper, I'm going to stay with maildir,
but it woud be nice to be able to improve it a bit.
