Hello, I am using postfix with maildir format. The filenames of messages stored in maildir look something like this:
1402593073.Vfe00I75441M583245.alpha:2,S where the filename is subdivided into three pieces, separated with dots: <time>.<delivery_identifier>.<hostname> As I see it, the whole point of the filename format specification is to ensure that it is unique. But unfortunately, the format is not very human readable. I need to manipulate messages as files in the filesystem (that is the sole reason why I am using maildir in the first place). My preferred format would look something like this: 2014-06-14__14-01-23.sender_subject.hostname I have verified that my email client (mutt) is happy with this format. This format would make it much easier for me to copy individual messages/files around I understand that there is no easy way to achieve this. But I want to ask nevertheless, if somebody could recommend best approach. thanks, Martin
