I think maildirfolder is only used for quotas, where the presence of
this file indicates that there's a level higher in the folder hierarchy.
Somehow this always strikes me as being backwards; a single marker file
in the top level would be more efficient than having to have a marker file
in each subfolder.  It would make sense if you could remove this file to
exempt a particular folder from contributing to the quota, but that doesn't
seem to be the case.

Anyway, I also have lots of folders without that file in it, but (as yet)
am not using maildir quotas and am not impacted at all.
