I know there is a recurring thread, "Which readers use maildirs as
folders?" The problem is, the answer is always the same: mutt. No
other mailer uses maildirs as local folders, although a few can use
maildirs as incoming mail spools. (If I'm wrong about this, please let
me know!)
Yes, mutt is just fine. However, we emacs users are discriminated
against; switching to mutt is just not acceptable because it means
losing all the rest of emacs's features from our mail reader. Also,
fans of MH are out in the cold; there is no command-line interface for
handling messages in maildir folders.
I believe that the solution is a CLI maildir-enabled mailreader, similar
in spirit to MH (but without any defects). The resulting tools should be
easily imbeddable into things like Emacs mailreaders (GNUs, mh-e, and
brand-new readers).
If anyone is interested in exploring this idea, please send an empty email

If anyone knows of such a project already underway, please let me know at
