Pine only groks mailboxes, so maildir2mbox moves the messages from a maildir
to an mbox for Pine's benefit. In the longer run, consider running an IMAP
server that handles maildirs.

That's a feature, qmail doesn't want to run as root which it would have to

Hmmn. Beats me. Usual voodoo suggestions regarding protections of the
maildir and the user's home directory.

People say nice things about mutt. The rest of us make do with worthless
unreliable MUAs.

More reliable than the things they replace. Dan's definition of beta
is along the lines of "not known to be bug-free" rather than the more
popular "runs well enough that maybe the users will debug it for us."
Like most bits of qmail, tcpserver is really nice once you believe that
it really is fast and nail down its typical three-mile long command line.
