[Evolution] maildir questions

["Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper" <vR movingparts net>]

First maildir question: $HOME/Maildir/ is a maildir (has new/, cur/,
tmp/) and it also has other directories, which are maildirs themselves
(personal/{new,cur,tmp}), as well as directories which contain maildir
directories (code/evolution/{new,cur,tmp}, code/php/{new,cur,tmp}). 
Mutt has no problems with this, nor does balsa.  Evolution handles it
all fine, it seems, but it displays the root of the directory as '.'. 
Am I doing something wrong here, or is there any way to make that
better?

I believe that the courier IMAP naming convention for nested maildir
folders/subfolders is as follows... 

Maildir/{new,cur,tmp}/
Maildir/.subdirectory/{new,cur,tmp}/
Maildir/.subdirectory.subdirectory2/{new,cur,tmp}/
Maildir/.subdirectory.subdirectory2.subdirectory3/{new,cur,tmp}/

I originally thought that this would be the "correct" way to do this,
but evolution views this exactly as above, not
"Maildir/subdirectory/subdirectory2/subdirectory3", etc.  So, again,
what is the "proper" and correct way to go about doing nested maildir
format?

Second maildir question: I have pop-perl5 snarfing my mail for me and
handing it off to procmail, which puts it in $HOME/Maildir/newmail/. 
Since newmail is underneath the maildir root (not top level), evolution
doesn't see when new mail has arrived.  What is the answer for that
there conundrum? How can I tell evolution to check for mail in that
nested maildir, and to then apply my evolution filters to what it finds,
putting everything that doesn't match a filter into the "Inbox" for this
account?  And for this account, I do have "automatically check for new
mail every 1 minutes" and "apply filters to new messages in INBOX" both
checked.

Thanks very much for your help....
