Thank you!
It works!
Now the mystery is how did I make that file in the first place?
I'm SURE that I followed the instructions in the qmail 'INSTALL.maidir' to
create this file. (as shown below)
maildirmake $HOME/Maildir
echo ./Maildir/ ~/.qmail
But the directory now exists, the telnet to the localhost has been fixed
too.
I do notice that, unlike the tcpserver instructions, it does NOT echo back
the users mail directory.
Or is that not a normal function of tcpserver under Maildir?

No, the above ls output shows that you have a FILE named 'Maildir'. You
do NOT have a Maildir/ directory as created by maildirmake. Delete the
above file and rerun maildirmake as user 'bob'.
Note: the ls output for a Maildir directory would have looked like the
following:
drwx--1 bob bob 8956 May 12 13:29 Maildir
