+"""Reads the account layout out of qtmaildir.conf, for the post-new hook.
+
+Only the sent folders are read, and only so the hook can tell mail the user
+SENT from mail that arrived. Everything else in that file belongs to the
+application.
+
+Stdlib only: this is imported by a notmuch hook that runs on every sync.
+
+The file is written by QSettings rather than by configparser, and the two
+disagree in one place that matters here. QSettings treats `/` in a section
+name as a group separator, so accounts are `[account.<key>]` with a DOT, and
+that key may itself contain dots (`[account.provider.name]`). The account key
+is therefore everything after the FIRST dot, never a split on the last one.
