Sure, but that's the beginning on the way for it to be completely 
different mail format :) Next one would be "keep flag states only in 
index, don't bother renaming the maildir files", then comes "just keep 
the filenames named as UID so we don't need to waste memory for maildir 
filenames". Then it's pretty much what I had in mind for my own mailbox 
format..
