About the 'cur' I'd not be too sure. If you *mv* the files there from a
directory on the same filesystem, you should be fine, but if copy the
files, I'd be careful. Probably you want to mimic the maildir behaviour:
copy the files to tmp/
mv the files to cur/ (not sure, if new/ would be fine to,
because new/ is the natural place after
tmp/. I'm not sure, what this does to the
message state the client sees.)
Best regards from Dresden/Germany
