    Cannot find maildirmake

    Hopefully this will be an easy answer.

    I am playing around with configuring exim. I would like to switch my users (just me for now, as in I am the only user) to the mail_dir format, since the default is mbox.

    Anyway I want to use "maildirmake /etc/skel/Maildir" to make sure that any future users will have to proper directories with the correct permissions.

    The problem is I cannot seem to find the maildirmake command! I have tryed sudo maildirmake, but still no luck! Any ideas?

    that command does not exist even in the unstable branch of debian, as far as I can tell.

    Interesting! Is there an alternative? Maybe I will just look at what permissions are required, as well as what folder, and then make a shell script.

    Any ideas about mutt?

    So, I just installed "courier-pop-ssl" and now the command "maildirmake" works! I guess it is part of this package? Or it is installed as part of the package or one of its dependent packages.
