Mutt's Maildir support is minimal. Not a good example.
I should've been more explicit and said Maildir++, which most software
aside from Dan Bernstein's uses, for various reasons. It's a superset.
Example documentation:
<http://www.courier-mta.org/maildirmake.html>
Something a quick google throws up:
<http://www.exim.org/pipermail/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20000103/015916.html>
which in passing demonstrates this being used.

*sigh* Thank you. I did check the run-time docs. And I just
double-checked:
~/zsh-4.0.2/Doc%; fgrep -i maildir **/*.yo
Zsh/compctl.yo:example(compctl -/ -W ~/Mail maildirs)
Further, the entry for $mailpath in zshparam(1) is a little misleading,
as it makes explicit reference to what happens when an entry is a
directory:
If an element is a directory instead of a
file the shell will recursively check every file in
every subdirectory of the element.
I'll just go rebuild zsh ... (serves me right for using *BSD Ports)
Thanks,
