Title: Maildir filename parsing questions
Post by: mcSmartyPants on October 01, 2024, 07:21:58 PM
Hi, I haven't found any references to this, so I'll ask:

I'm using RC + dovecot + postfix. Mail messages get created/stored in the user's Maildir "new"/"cur" folders. I'm wondering how much info I can glean from the filenames, to do some statistics without invading privacy.

So, for example, I'm pretty sure that ",S" gets appended when a message is marked as Read...??? What other predictable characters are there?

Example:


I'm pretty sure that:

But the bit I"m really interested in is after the ":", which is often "2," with additional letters. Anybody know what they mean?

TIA,
