I didn't know about .netrc, will check it out.
I can see a whole bunch of empty directories being a waste, but
.mh_sequences does need to be stored somewhere. Perhaps there should
just be a $HOME/[Mail/].imap-mh_sequences that has all of them?
Sequences are a different problem. Since MH has both public and private
sequences, I would argue that the only truly "public" sequence for an
IMAP folder is one that is stored on the IMAP server. This could be
done with a file on the server, since IMAP allows fairly free form
file retrieval, or it could be done with flags where the server permits
the definition of new flags. I don't think there would be performance
issues with either option, but using flags is definitely better for
data integrity where the mail might be accessed by different clients.
Cheers,
