This breaks Courier and Qmail.

No. qmail's maildir_scan() looks only at files with mtime < time, so it can't move anything out of the delivery directory until the next second. Duplicates are eliminated by the standard use of stat() in delivery.

Mutt certainly does not use the above method---seems to believe that qmail-local has handed to it a unique filename. Indeed, mutt is willing to move files in new/ with future mtime into cur/---and is willing to overwrite a file with the same name there.

$ date Fri Jan 17 14:06:18 CST 2003

$ rm -rf Maildir/

$ maildirmake Maildir

$ echo old > Maildir/new/mess

$ mutt -f Maildir/ 1 kept, 0 deleted.

$ cat Maildir/cur/mess old

$ echo new > Maildir/new/mess

$ touch -t 01180101.24 Maildir/new/mess

$ mutt -f Maildir/ 2 kept, 0 deleted.

$ cat Maildir/cur/mess new

So you see, it even lies: it says "2 kept", when in fact only one message remains in cur when it exits.

In fact, it gets completely confused: I open Maildir in mutt again

$ mutt -f Maildir/ 1 kept, 0 deleted.

but this time I look into the message, so I have

$ ls Maildir/cur/ mess:2,S

Open mutt again, and look at the brand_new message:

$ mutt -f Maildir/ 2 kept, 0 deleted.

$ cat Maildir/cur/mess\:2\,S brand_new
