Hmm, this is weird. I'll need to test/debug this later, but what I don't understand is why/when does it happen? Do you see New Mail mailbox in the tree? Had you ever been able to open it?

Yes in the sense that you don't need it to use M (I don't use it for example). It still creates it on first startup. You could argue that it doesn't make much sense but at least so far it didn't do any harm neither. ESJ> That's inbox, new mail, drafts, etc. etc. etc..

In ideal world, yes. But in real world we don't know if the user cares more about compatibility with the other programs and hence wants to use MBOX or about performance (MBX).

You don't want to use -- by all ways don't use it. But many users care about much greater performance of the MBX driver mroe than about documentation of its internals.

Unfortunately nobody has managed to write a working maildir driver so far. Several of them exist but they're all buggy.

No, it won't do it unless you ask for it explicitly in the "New Mail" page of the folder properties dialog.
