But it doesn't seem to end up here either, as $ ls ~/Maildir/**/* /home/incal/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist /home/incal/Maildir/dovecot-uidvalidity /home/incal/Maildir/dovecot-uidvalidity.624ebab8 /home/incal/Maildir/dovecot.index.log /home/incal/Maildir/cur: /home/incal/Maildir/new: /home/incal/Maildir/tmp: -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
