[bug-mailutils] movemail and maildir destination

[Georg Sauthoff]

Hi,

how do I move mail via 'movemail' from an existing mbox file to a
non-existing maildir destination?

Something like:
# ls
foo.mbox
# movemail -p foo.mbox maildir:bar # error
or even 
# movemail -p foo.mbox bar/ # error

# movemail -p foo.mbox bar
works like expected - a new destination mbox is created (but how to
specify a maildir destination?)

Btw, the --mailbox-type=PROTO is a bit confusing, because the
documentation doesn't mention valid values for PROTO. And 'maildir:' or
'mbox:' (with the ':' suffix) is not very intuitive for a new user.

I am using mailutils 1.1.

Best regards
Georg Sauthoff
