You seem to be a bit too much obsessed over Maildir++ :) Maildir++ is  
just Courier IMAP's way of storing Maildir folders, which was adopted  
by a few other programs. Other programs use more human-understandable  
way (LAYOUT=fs). Nothing would prevent creating yet another different  
way of storing them. In all cases once the Maildir directory is found,  
the Maildir handling works exactly the same.
