My reading of the maildir specification (such that it is) says that the
filename before the colon should be unique. Although ... despite what
people say, it seems like Maildir is not really designed to be a mail
_store_ (someplace where you keep your mail long-term) but more of a
mail drop box (someplace you put messages so someone else can come along
and grab them). Like, the original Maildir specification did not permit
subfolders (it looks like there is something called Maildir++, which does).
Maildir just means what Maildir++ used to mean, now. here's what
Dovecot2 made for me when i created a w/spam/sunbelt folder in Postbox,
for example:
[family.redbarn:amd64] ls -lR Maildir/.w.spam.sunbelt

so, i think mapping the MH message number to "basename before :" would work.
