hmm...
i know this is hardly a help, but the manual says:
Maildir. The newest of the mailbox formats, used by the Qmail MTA (a
replacement for sendmail). Similar to MH, except that it adds three
subdirectories of the mailbox: tmp, new and cur. Filenames for the
messages are chosen in such a way they are unique, even when two
programs are writing the mailbox over NFS, which means that no file
locking is needed.
just a thought
