This is not the standard format for maildir folders. Maildirs originally did  
not have any concept of folders. The first mail application that implemented  
maildir folders was Courier-IMAP, and Cone uses the same maildir format as  
Courier-IMAP does.

Specifying a proper maildir will set it up automatically, as well as all the  
folders that it contains.

A maildir contains only three subdirectories, tmp, new, and cur. Any folders  
in a maildirs are created as hidden subdirectories, such as .Trash, .Sent  
Items, and so on, each one containing its own tmp, new, and cur  
subdirectories.

This was the initial implementation of maildirs, and Cone uses the same  
format.
