Neither of them, although they're a good read. Now, I'm starting to  
doubt myself, but I really remember a document which contests reason  
for going with Maildir++.

The question that the document answers (IIRC) is why I shouldn't care  
too much about Maildir++ if it's a new server. The box this will be  
running on uses qmail/vpopmail and I would like to know the  
advantages/disadvantages of either depot type with regards to my  
setup, and what modifications the setup would need.
