Maildir is a different format for the storage of incoming mails (the "spool") that the mail-server qmail (www.qmail.org) uses. if your maildir is in ~/Maildir, then new mails will arive one per file in ~/Maildir/new. What is normally used is called mbox-format. In this format, incoming mail is stored in one file called /var/spool/mail/<username>. -- Felix Natter
