I have been using this program for 9 years... mostly putting up with it.
Today, I really needed to move some folders from one 'parent' folder to another. I could not figure out how to do that. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Hi Bill Kniegge,
Let's say you have two folders, source and target in your 'parent' (inbox) folder. In this case, message files are stored in ~/Maildir/.INBOX.source/cur/
Thus all you have to do is just to move files from ~/Maildir/.INBOX.source/cur/ to ~/Maildir/.INBOX.target/cur/ using your favourite file manager or just in console:
mv ~/Maildir/.INBOX.source/cur/ ~/Maildir/.INBOX.target/cur/
(you can test it by copying just one message and then make sure it appeared in target folder using your email client)
I did this before because email client starts to open folder slowly after its amount of messages becomes huge.
Hope this helps.
Best, Marchello.
