Because I do not agree with Notmuch's notion of what a non-mail file is. All files the Dovecot server uses for its own metadata are placed outside of "cur", "new", and "tmp". My understanding of the Maildir structure is that only these three subfolders in a given directory may contain mail files, so I expect Notmuch, as a default behaviour, to ignore whatever is stored outside of these subfolders. -Ralph
