Yes.  Basically, with maildir, three directories will be created for
each of your mail folder: new, cur and tmp

When your mail goes to your inbox, it gets written to tmp. Only when it
is finished writing, the mail gets moved to new.  So, if the system
fails during write for some reason, the system knows that the mail has
not been delivered.  After you have read the
mail, or just noticed that it's there, the mail gets moved to cur.
