MailDir and mail apps? [WAS: Re: dot-qmail questions]

[Deepak Saxena]

Ok, dumb question time from me. How does a mailer like mutt 
deal with maildir-based mail?  Does each maildir have a hashed
index?  I can see the advantages of having one message per file 
as I have mboxes which are > 50MB in size and take a ridiculously
long time to load, but can all mail apps deal with them and how
does something like search work?
