1.4.3-1 from sid. Ah, it _just_ started working! but I'm afraid I didn't notice what I might have done to fix it. It may have been as simple as renaming ~/maildir to ~/Maildir.

If it all works, then I need to convert a bunch of mbox files to maildir format. I did a search and found a script for this. After that, install some plugins! ...RickM...
