Looks like maildir can't be used very realiably without quite a lot of locking. Writing and scanning the directory would have to be locked, but reading wouldn't (as long as the file hasn't been renamed which would require scanning to find it). So much for "no locks needed"..
Here is the output from a Solaris 9 sparc box, which provides home directories and the imaps service for clients. Maildir is in the home directory. The maildir is mounted via nfs by mail clients. See attached.
I do not know what this means. Is there a problem?
Thanks, Alex
