I am converting a server to use Maildir format. Could someone please help out the attention challenged by stating briefly where and how mail is stored and managed?
I thought the mbox format was much simpler. It was either stored in /var/spool/mail for system users or /var/spool/virtual/domainname for virtual mail users. With Maildir I know its stored somewhere in the user's home directory. I see some folders named cur and new. I don't know what they mean.
