Yes, quite right. All the stuff in each of those mbox files has been
either put there manually, or by a well-tested procmail recipe from
known contacts etc. I do sometimes file an unread message for later
reading, so I think I will need "new".

The (very few) FNs that slip through get hand-filed be me into the
Malware/Spam mbox and get re-learned on the next run of the script
(every night).

So - is the syntax correct for a maildir format? 
In particular will it work with the current structure (i.e. will the
line "sa-learn --ham ~/Maildir/.{Misc,Personal,etc}.*/{cur,new}"
correctly catch:
.Misc.Clubs.cur
.Misc.Clubs.new
.Misc.Car.cur
.Misc.Car.new
etc...?
 
Should I use --no-sync?

Many thanks for the help so far...

Mark
