mu-mkdir

MU-MKDIR(1)                                                   General Commands Manual                                                  MU-MKDIR(1)

NAME

       mu_mkdir -  create a new Maildir

SYNOPSIS

       mu mkdir [options] <dir> [<dirs>]

DESCRIPTION

       mu  mkdir is the mu sub-command for creating Maildirs. It does not use the mu database. With the mkdir command, you can create new Maildirs
       with permissions 0755. For example,

          mu mkdir tom dick harry

       creates three Maildirs, tom, dick and harry.

       If creation fails for whatever reason, no attempt is made to remove any parts that were created. This is for safety reasons.

OPTIONS

       --mode=<mode>
              set the file access mode for the new maildir(s) as in chmod(1).
