[Dovecot] Empty file in maildirs

[Roel Wagenaar]

I am cleaning up some old users, and found that in every maildir folder there is
an empty file called maildirfolder, created at the time the original dovecot was
installed.

Is this empty file necessary for dovecot, or is it left there in an upgrade
proces and can it be removed?

Dovecot 2.1.7, on Debian wheezy.
