But then you would lose the ability to access your folders, wouldn't you? 
The above syntax only works for a directory.

If that's what you want, then just delete the folders :-) or move them 
inside the directories. You do know that you can rename a folder to move 
it, right? So you can rename Physics (the folder) as Physics/Physics (a 
folder inside the directory) and the [.] will disappear. No need to select 
all messages and save them elsewhere.

Otherwise I'm a bit lost as to what you're asking for. Could you explain 
why you want the directories to behave like folders, i.e. what's wrong 
with the way they are now?

Cheers, Chris.
