The program has at least 2 bugs in it:

. If the body has paragraph break (i.e., '\n') followed by the RFC822
  keyword 'From', the original message will loose the last half of
  the message and a phantom message will be created.

  Change from my notes:

#           if ( /^From /
#     -to-
#           if ( /^From .*? \d\d:\d\d:\d\d \d\d\d\d/

. I never could figure out where the second bug was. This one created
  some messages with blank subject lines.


Never noticed this, but, it was a very very long time ago I last used it, and since most users over here have always been pop3, probably never had many to convert in the first place when I did use it, so risk was so low. I think it was around the time we merged, and had to combine sendmail/dovecot and qmail/vpopmail/dovecot systems into just a postfix/dovecot solution, either we fluked it, or any affecteds didnt bother to report it.


Another annoyance was prefixing the newly created mail folders with a '.'


As Charles has already mentioned, thats how Maildir works
