Is there a 'new', a 'cur', and a 'tmp' directory within the dirk
directory?


Sure is:

bash-2.03# ls -la dirk
total 12
drwxr-xr-x   5 dirk     other        512 Nov 13 17:25 .
drwxrwxrwt  29 root     mail         512 Nov 13 17:12 ..
drwxr-xr-x   2 dirk     other        512 Nov 13 17:12 cur
-rw-------   1 dirk     other        343 Nov 13 17:25 msg.LDt
drwxr-xr-x   2 dirk     other        512 Nov 13 17:12 new
drwxr-xr-x   2 dirk     other        512 Nov 13 17:12 tmp
