Sure. I'd only like to notice that the maildir folder structure
is pretty similar to MH (except some minor details). Existing MH
support should be able to read and create messages in maildir
folders, except creating tmp/time.pid.host link. Wouldn't it
be a good idea to implement maildir on top of it?

I guess I'll have to hack the testsuite a bit to enable this. Do you
plan to add maildir testcases to every testsuite or just to
mailbox/testsuite?
