It seems that the directory structure for maildir is not standardised. This page talks about two possible formats: http://wiki.mutt.org/index.cgi?action=browse&diff=2&id=MuttFaq/Maildir
Ubuntu seems to be coming up with yet another naming standard (more at https://wiki.ubuntu.com//MailStorageStandardisation ). And to talk about kmail, their structure is given in http://wiki.mutt.org/index.cgi?ExtendedMaildirFormat and it doesnt seem they have any plans of changing it soon (http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kmail-devel/2005-January/014614.html ). However, all these are different conventions for directory structures. I think it might still be possible to recusrively scan for cur/ new/ tmp/ directories in the maildir directory and find rfc822 files in them. At least, that is what I think http://www.rpcurnow.force9.co.uk/mairix/ does. I will see if I can recursively scan directories and pick up mail files for indexing. - Bera > > The changelog of beagle-0.12 says it can index maildir mails.
