If a Maildir structure is chosen as the preferred solution, use dot in front
of subMaildir/.
One Maildir and one subMaildir is probably enough, anyway:
./Maildir/
|-cur
|-new
|-tmp
|
|-.new
| |-cur
| |-new
| |-tmp
|
|-.pending
| |-cur
| |-new
| |-tmp
|
|-.confirmed
|-cur
|-new
|-tmp
An imap-client or a webmail client would then be able to read it correctly
(Uhhh). U guys is probably aware of this, but better safe than sorry ;)
TMDA could then treat the cur and new directories as one, and move pending
(./Maildir/new-or-cur) to confirmed (./Maildir/.confirmed/new). Your MUA
would then move it from new to cur, which does'nt matter since you treat cur
and new as "one".

Err... I guess I'm not seeing this question quite the same way you
did. If the suggestion was "Why not use further directories within
the Maildir like the standard(?) cur, new & tmp?" then wouldn't that
mean basically a reshuffling of directories?
In other words, a message comes in that requires confirmation, and
instead of quarantining it in ~/.tmda/pending, we put it in
~/Maildir/pending. Once it gets confirmed, we put a copy in
~/Maildir/new and move the ~/Maildir/pending message over to
~/Maildir/confirmed.
If we receive another confirmation, we check against
~/Maildir/confirmed, not ~/Maildir/new or even ~/Maildir/cur.
After all, http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html seems to say that we
can add more directories underneath ~/Maildir.
I think this is a rather valid solution. ~/.tmda is an appropriate
place to keep all TMDA configuration stuff, but e-mail is e-mail.
Perhaps we should move it around just like MUA's do.
Just my 2�.
