Say you have a bunch of mboxes. You choose filenames for them. Of
course, some filenames are prohibited:
* You can't use the name .., because that's a directory.
* You can't use the name /Mail, because you don't have permission.
* You can't use the name Mailbox/2, because Mailbox is a file.
But the complete list of restrictions is reasonably simple, and people
don't seem to have much trouble dealing with a few special characters.
Now change each mbox to a maildir. Whatever filenames worked with mbox
will continue to work with maildir. You now have a bunch of maildirs.
What exactly is the problem?
