Hi Steven,

Thank you for your answer.  I tried the usage of path with wildcards,
but it does only recursively report messages in a real directory tree.

I'm using dovecot maildir.  So the folder hierarchy is _not_ saved as
phisical directory tree but as multiple directories inside the root
maildir directory.

So for this folder hierarchy:
- MAIN1
   - SUB1
   - SUB2
- MAIN2

I have following directories inside maildir:
.MAIN1
.MAIN1.SUB1
.MAIN1.SUB2
.MAIN2

The path:.MAIN1/** will not go down inside subfolders SUB1 and SUB2.

Is there any way to achieve this ?

thx!
