Yes.
i understood that, when moving from new to cur, filename should
be appended of ':2,'. But filenames on new, as i understood, should
never be changed. As soon as they are read there (on new), they
should be moved to cur.what would be the correct way of compressing messages on the new
directory and adding the Z flag ? Would be any problem if, when
compressing on new, add the ':2,' suffix ? Indeed it would be
':2,Z' suffix oneHow about not compressing mails still in new/? They shouldn't remain
there for very long anyway, you could compress only the ones in cur/.
If people read their emails atleast daily, it would work ok that way.
But with several people that only read emails monthly or even not at
all, it helps to compress the new folder also.
