Andreas,

Could you please explain a little bit about Maildir++ and IMAPdir?  I
don't really understand what they are, or what's different about them.

I'm using whichever was default, I believe Maildir++.  I have a Maildir in
my home directory, and a lot of messages and folders there.  Is IMAPdir an
alternative to using Maildir?  If so how does it fit in with qmail
delivery?  What is the ++ on Maildir++ for?  Is this a difference in how
messages are stored on the disk, a naming convention, a protocol
difference, or something else entirely?

If I want to change to another format, do I have to convert my existing
messages or throw them away?  What are the advantages of each and why are
there both?

I see it mentioned quite a bit, but I guess everyone else here has a
better understanding of what it is than me, or maybe they just don't care
;-).  Anyways, I do care, so any information you can provide is greatly
appreciated.
