I mean there is no need for a suffix if you keep a separate directory. bal/bla/Mail/spool/group.spool is tautological. For me at least the whole purpose of having the extention is that you CAN ceep the spool and the actual folder together. This is a somewhat moot moint if you use a directory based backend, but I think it looks tidy with nnfolder. > > > (n-g-a-f is way too aggressive for me anyway but I think it should > > at least be possible to have all mail groups related stuff in one > > directory) > > Probably not. I like it that way and works just fine as along as you don't use n-g-a-f For me it would super if nnfolder-g-a-f would just create a gpoup blabla for any blabla.spool files it didn't know about and forget about the other files Jan
