Maildirs are supposed to be same, message file names are not much changed, and email clients are often having internal indexes to such messages as file names. So if there are conversions it is not Maildir usage, it is hybrid usage. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
