The intention of the script is to generate first level mailboxes start with '.' as well as the sub-level mailboxes(mbox or maildir) which starts with '.'(except '.', '..', '.customflags', '.subscriptions'). Note to show the sub-level mailboxes it requires the first level folder not start with '.'. Is this you want? I don’t really mind whether the first-level folder starts with a ‘.’ or not; I only chose “.mail” so it would keep my Finder a little tidier. I have some tests with the script. there is a maildir folder structure created as below, # find .maildir/ .maildir/ .maildir/list .maildir/list/.c .maildir/list/.a .maildir/list/.b .maildir/inbox .maildir/.mbox .maildir/.list .maildir/.list/.c .maildir/.list/.a .maildir/.list/.b # ./a.sh +.list +.mbox +list/.a +list/.b +list/.c # ./b.sh +.list +.mbox +.list/.a +.list/.b +.list/.c The a.sh's result should be the author's expectation. the b.sh is assume that the first level folder starts with '.' when showing sub-level mailboxes. Both of them are attached. None of my sublevel mailboxes start with a ‘.’ — they’re just regular mailboxes.

Hi Du Yang, I tried making the fix you suggested, but it still hasn’t workedi — I still can’t access the nested folders. I don’t get the previous error in printed in the terminal on exit, but I now get this: sh: line 0: [: too many arguments sh: line 0: [: /Users/mike/.mail/Deleted: binary operator expected sh: line 0: [: /Users/mike/.mail/Sent: binary operator expected Mailbox is unchanged. I suspect “Deleted” and “Sent” are “Deleted Messages” and “Sent Messages”. I use these mailboxes because my iPhone created them and I can’t work out how to make it use other folders. Any other ideas on how to fix this?

So far, mostly works, but I can’t access nested folders — only the top-level folders. I used ‘/’ as the seperator so that OfflineIMAP would create local nested folders. My .muttrc has the following: set mbox_type =Maildir set pager_stop set folder =~/.mail set spoolfile=+INBOX set record =+Sent Messages set postponed=+Drafts set mask =!^\\.[^.] I think the problem is with the mask, but I’ve tried mucking around with it to no avail. Anyone know what it should read? Or if it’s not the mask, then what the problem is? I’ve been researching this a little further, trying to get it fixed, but still haven’t made any progress. I followed a Maildir guide on the mutt wiki (http://tinyurl.com/mexy9), making sure I removed the trailing whitespace from the \s, but it still doesn’t work. Hitting enter on one of the folders I *know* has subfolders (which I can navigate to with the cd command, still just opens that folder. When I exit, I see this in the terminal printed several times, just after the command to start mutt: sh: line 0: [: missing `]' I tried fixing it, but I know nothing about shell scripting, so I couldn’t seem to strike upon the required placing for the missing `. Anyone know how to fix? Thanks, Mike PS: The subject line in the original email got mangled by my VPS’s copy of mutt, so I’ve fixed it this time around. Apologies if this breaks your threading. -- __ __ __ / /_ ___ _/ /__ _/ / _ __ / '_/ _ \/ __/ _ `/ / _ `/ __/ _ \ |/ /Raconteur, Mostly /_/\_\\___/_/ \_,_/_/\_,_/\__/\___/___/ http://koralatov.com/
