INBOX -> ~/mail/inbox abc -> ~/mail/abc abc/def -> ~/mail/abc.dir/def or ~/mail/___abc___/def
This would not work. For example, how would you handle a folder named "abc.dir"? In your scheme, that would end up as ~/mail/abc.dir which would still result in a name clash. How would you handle abc/def/ghi? Something like ~/mail/abc.dir/def.dir/ghi or? That would not make it very workable either. Sounds more like you just introduced a new self-created problem that would require yet another workaround.. ;-) But what was not clear from your mail, is what exactly you identified as "the problems" with standard Maildir++ setup? -- Maarten
