I am running Maildir (obtained via [mac|darwin] ports) on my Powerbook Pro to operate as local mail storage. My mail is stored in the Maildir format.
Is it possible to set Maildir not to put a dot in front of the directory names? (e.g., ~/Maildir/somefolder instead of ~/Maildir/.somefolder). OS X's spotlight indexing/search service will not index "hidden" directories (those that begin with a period), so I would like Maildir to use non dot-files for its base names so that my email is indexed.
I tried messing with the "seperator" setting in the .conf file (I tried setting it to "/", ":" and ".") with no luck. (I was able to connect in all cases, but new folders contined to receive dot-names.
Is there a way to force Maildir(++) to name directories without the leading dot?
I have hunted the mailing list for an answer to this, and the only suggestions that came close did not seem to work.
