SYNOPSIS

Maildir/ - Directory-based email storage format

Maildir is a mail storage format where each email is stored as a separate file in a directory structure. It consists of three subdirectories: cur (read), new (unread), and tmp (in-progress delivery).Maildir avoids file locking issues of mbox format and allows concurrent access from multiple programs.
