Maildir in Thunderbird

Thunderbird 38 introduces optional Maildir which allows a single unique
filename per email (EML), unlike the default monolithic single file
format of one file per folder known as mbox. NOTE - this is NOT full
maildir in the sense that most users, particularly linux or mail
administrators, know maildir. You cannot point Thunderbird accounts to a
mail server directory, nor do you get message flags stored with emails.
See wiki for more details.

Maildir is disabled by default because there are still many bugs. It is
not 100% ready for users.
