If you are using IMAP, you should be using Maildir folders. 

I do. Server is Dovecot.

These do not require lock files and the folders are created properly by the 
IMAP server when you write to a .folder/


I didn't know that lockfiles are obsolete for Maildirs.
But AFAIK their are not forbidden, either. Creating the
Maildirs early would improve stability.

Nested subdirectories (e.g. vger.kernel.org/a/b/c/linux-kernel
as in the example) are not created at all. I would guess this
could be easy to extend?


Many thanx to all for your helpful comments.
