note iguanodon <blockquote>Unread messages should be in the <tt>new</tt> subdirectory of <tt>Maildir</tt>, and read messages in <tt>cur</tt>. Not sure about using those modules, but that's how Maildir works. See <a href="http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html">http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html</a>. </blockquote> That's basically correct but... at least with my Postfix / Courier IMAP / Squirrelmail setup, as soon as I use Squirrelmail any messages in the <tt>new</tt> dir are moved to <tt>cur</tt> - even if they're not read yet. When the message is read, <tt>:2,S</tt> is appended to the file name in <tt>cur</tt>. This is best explained at <a href="http://www.courier-mta.org/?maildir.html">http://www.courier-mta.org/?maildir.html</a> . Other MTA/IMAP server/MUA combinations may handle this differently. <p> <p><!-- Node text goes above.
