E.g. I /home/chris/Mail I have the following (maildir) folders:-

Fcds  boating        friends    houseHome  jobs      mairix personal  shopping  work

However if I execute list_dirs() in /home/chris/Mail it just gives me [.in] and that's the lot!

That's working exactly as specified - Maildir subfolder directory names must begin with a "."

I don't know why, but that's how it is and it's confused me several times before. It's not explained in http://www.courier-mta.org/maildir.html

Anyone know why it's like this?

Help!
