<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">Umm, I've done some Googling. </p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">Apparently, according to the Maildir specification, unread messages should be in 'new' and should be moved to 'cur' when they are "found by a cognizant maildir reading process" (whatever that means)</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">It should also attach suffixes such as 'S' for 'Seen' etc - which Kmail evidently does.</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">My conclusion is that, for my purposes, I don't need to worry about 'cur' or 'new', the files all show up as messages in the respective Kmail folder.</p>
