I had cleaned +the Maildir from what I thought were leftover symlinks from some time +long ago. Actually, I had a script that creates, with symlinks, a copy +of my mailbox without the dots in the directory names for use with Mutt. +I had left out parameter -T from 'ln' so my script also created weird +symlinks at ~/Maildir, and thus resurrected the links I thought I +cleaned up. And the links were indeed the problem. + +Everything is working now. Sorry and thanks! + +-- +Perttu -- 2.26.2
