Search around for the ongoing discussion about mutt's maildir support on Cygwin (most of which I've seen is on gmane.os.cygwin, or the cygwin@cygwin.com list). They have the same problem, but with more people looking at it. Cygwin has an experimental feature called "managed mounts." Read about the "-o" option in the man page for "mount." With managed mounts, one can work around the maildir invalid character problem, but it's not really a settled solution. The mutt maintainers are reluctant to do something special to support Cygwin. The argument goes that the maildir "specification" needs to amended to better accommodate file system constraints like these. -- Steven E.
