Since Google doesn't find it, I'll say that nnmaildir lives at
URL:http://multivac.cwru.edu/nnmaildir/

 Otherwise, Maildir is available as a regular mail backend.

Which is to say: the other backends can read incoming mail from a
maildir, but they store it in some other format.  AFAIK, nnmaildir is
the only (existing) way to make Gnus store mail in a maildir.

Hi,

Is there any good MUA out there that supports Maildir format? I want to
get ride of pine because only has mbox.

The three greatest: mutt, mutt and mutt. I should also mention mutt. From
these I'd use mutt ;-))

Hey, I think you forgot to speak about mutt! That's incredible... :)

PS: do you know a way to send a gnupg message encrypted with two or three 
keys to a single address ? We have an ezmlm-based list, and all
the posts should be encrypted. But when I send a mail to the list,
I can only encrypt with one key... Thanks for any hint!

And I use another MUA that supports maildirs very well. It even uses the
new/cur/tmp dirs as it should, instead of relying on "Status" headers. It's
called "mutt" ;-)

Oh, maybe you are on many mailing lists. Then a good List reply is a must,
so your choice should be different. For this special case I'd recommend...
eh, you got the idea - mutt ;-))

Yes, unfortunately several of my users very much don't like mutt.

Patch pine with the patch mentioned at http://qmail.org/ and you're in
business. OTOH:

Look, Ma, 4299 accidents waiting to happen:
find pine4.21 -type f | xargs egrep '(sprintf|strcpy|strcat)' | wc -l

mutt is pretty nifty. Another good choice would be Gnus http://www.gnus.org/
which also supports Maildir natively if you use nnmaildir. Otherwise, Maildir
is available as a regular mail backend. It's about 150x as big as mutt,
but it's got a lot of extremely useful features mutt lacks (I use both
extensively).

Mutt is pretty good also
