That's what it is :/ One directory per mail folder, with each email an
individual file in that dir.
On the side I run a mini-ISP that offers (among other things)
SMTP/IMAP/POP via exim/dovecot. I use maildir for my customers, and am
desperately searching for a better solution. David Woodhouse and I talk
off and on about using git for distributed mail storage.
OTOH, I wonder if a P2P-ish, sha1-indexed network service wouldn't be
better for both a git fallback and email storage.
