 Yeah, how exactly are you supposed to filter mail into seperate
 mailboxes when using Maildir?

Procmail currently provide support for maildir.  Beginning about
v3.11, there was a patch that added support for maildir.  Before
that, there was a small utility (by David DeSimone) that provided
support; you might a reference to it in old (1998 or earlier) mutt
mailing list archives.

If I recall correctly, you need to add a trailing '/' to the mailbox
name.

you do! everything is quite fine now. only funny thing: right
after leaving a mailbox with an unread mail, the mailbox is not
marked new ("N"), but e.g. when i enter another mailbox and then
return it is marked as new :-) 
so thanx for the help. I just need a tool to convert a mbox to a
Maildir or is there a another way (antitrust) ...
