NAME

       mu-mkdir - create a new Maildir

SYNOPSIS

       mu [COMMON-OPTIONS] mkdir [OPTIONS] DIR...

DESCRIPTION

       mu  mkdir  is  the  command  for  creating  Maildirs  as  per maildir(5). A maildir is a a directory with
       subdirectories new, cur and tmp.

       The command does not use the mu database.

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

MKDIR OPTIONS

   --mode mode
       Set the file access mode for the new maildir(s) as in chmod(1). The default is 0755.

COMMON OPTIONS

   -d, --debug
       Makes  mu  generate  extra  debug information, useful for debugging the program itself. Debug information
       goes to the standard logging location; see mu(1).

   -q, --quiet
       Causes mu not to output informational messages and progress information to standard output, but  only  to
       the log file. Error messages will still be sent to standard error. Note that mu index is much faster with
       --quiet, so it is recommended you use this option when using mu from scripts etc.

   --log-stderr
       Causes  mu  to  not  output  log  messages to standard error, in addition to sending them to the standard
       logging location.

   --nocolor
       Do not use ANSI colors. The environment variable NO_COLOR can be used as an alternative to --nocolor.

   -V, --version
       Prints mu version and copyright information.

   -h, --help
       Lists the various command line options.

EXAMPLE

              $ mu mkdir tom dick harry

       creates three maildirs, tom, dick and harry.
