Ah yes, the ``maildir folder'' used by Sam Varshavchik's tools
(maildrop, courier-imap, etc). See http://courier-mta.org/maildirmake.html

Hmm, this might work. What do others think of this idea?

BTW, why not just one maildir folder to hold ``confirmed/released''
messages, while still pending messages remain in the top level
Maildir? e.g,

./.tmda/pending/
                cur/
                new/
                tmp/
                .confirmed/
                          cur/
                          new/
                          tmp/

I suppose we could retain the distinction between ``confirmed'' and
``released'' messages by adding a second .released/ maildir
folder. Does anyone besides Mark actually find this distinction
valuable? It would add to the complexity of the code and decrease
performance slightly, so I want to make sure it's worth it.
