This is a Mailbox in MH style.

No, it isn't.  A mailbox in MH style is a directory containing files
whose names are sequence numbers.

This happen, if you use a filter like

:0
* 1 From:.*mutt-users
some_mailbox/.

No, it doesn't.

        some_mailbox            produce ONE mailbox file

Wrong.  If the name does not already exist, or is already a plain
file, then the mail is appended to it as if it were a single mailbox
file. However, if the name already exists and refers to a directory,
then you get the mail placed in separate files after the manner listed
above.  Gerald's problem is that he should not have created
/var/mail/me as a directory in the first place.

        some_mailbox/           give you a Maildir
        some_mailbox/.          is MH style

Those are correct (wth the caveat that they fail if the name exists
and is NOT a directory).
