Those "ugly characters" are there for a reason: they are specified by the Maildir standard (and the Dovecot's extensions to it) to encode various metadata such as message ID, size, flags, etc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir https://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/mailbox_formats/maildir/ Also, why the "filename esthetics" even matters? The maildir directory is not supposed to be viewed (let alone directly accessed or modified) by a user. Mail clients and Dovecot provide useful (as well as format-independent and universal) human-oriented interfaces and admin tools.
for me, being able to manipulate individual emails as files is the main advantage of using Maildir format. It's not meant for day-to-day operation, but for troubleshooting or backups of individual emails if necessary _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
