Hey,
when I tried to set up mu I ran into the following issue:
I ran mu init --maildir ~/mail which worked fine but when I tried to do mu index
no mails where found. After some investigating I noticed mu stores my maildir as /home/USER//mail but then disregards mails with the canonical path /home/USER/mail/... because they don't have this exact prefix.
I thought it would make sense to store the maildir (which is already ensured to be absolute) as canonical path too and therefore canonicalize the mu init --maildir argument after expanding.
This fixes my problem, I hope it doesn't break something else. Feedback is appreciated. :)
