What is still missing is the purpose. I grasp that MRAs and MUAs have a dutywhich rsync is relieved of, but why? (A similar duty is to delete any old fileleft behind in tmp. This is just housekeeping which any process can do.)Rather than classifying maildir readers any further, it may be clearer to explain, say, that such new-cur split is/was meant to ease some sort of operations, such as client-side spam filtering. IMAP and POP3 client don't seem to need such functionality, so it must have been something related to local MUAs. Is that right?
new/cur split was meant to be merely a means to identify messages that were seen for the very first time. Nothing more than the means to notify the user "you have X new messages". This is not the same thing as how many unread messages there are. Messages in cur may still be unread.
