Read and follow the directions in Life with qmail

exactly and you shouldn't have any problems.
qmail does not check your maildir, it only receives mail and delivers to it,
you must be talking about your mail client or a pop3/imap client. qmail has a
pop3 daemon that works with maildir very well and we use it at our isp. It's
VERY fast. in fact, qmail in general is faster than other solutions.
