I know I saw a script the other day online, that shows you how you can run maildrop manually to refilter your Maildir inbox.

I've tried the following so for

maildrop < /home/paul/Maildir/cur/*

But that gives me an ambiguous redirect error message

now if I enter int the the following

maildrop < /home/paul/Maildir/cur/10667491.1123C10090000... etc...

The end number is just an imaginary I made up to post here.

Everything runs fine. So I thought will I'll make up a bash script

#!/bin/bash for i in '/home/paul/Maildir/cur/*'; do maildrop < $i; done

But when I run it I'm back to the ambiguous redirect error message.
