I'm currently running maildrop-1.5.3 on Debian Sarge, the problem is that I'm finding it hard to make maildrop deliver to the Inbox, if the directory that it should be delivering does not exist.

First, put a / at the end of the Maildir folder name. This will force maildrop to consider it a Maildir folder instead of a mbox mailbox. With this, if the Maildir does not exist, the delivery will be deferred. Now you need to wrap the: to "$DEFAULT.Subdir statement in a exception. Thus, if the Maildir does not exist, the message will not be deferred but will continue down the filter to the to "$DEFAULT".
