Ah, because now elmo uses a set of maildirs in the mailbox instead of 
one.

Look, I have my mailbox set to ~/Gdzies, and the following directory structure:


Gdzies--inbox
      |-sent
      |-trash
      `-important

but _each_ of them (inbox etc) is a maildir, with cur new tmp, not just
a directory.
If you run elmoconf.sh, it should set everything up correctly, you can
have it doing a dry-roon or just look at its code to get the idea.

I hope it's this.
