I know David implemented some maildir tests. I can't remember if they ran both twice or not, or if it was just some additional tests in places.

I believe the intent was to do a complete switch over at some stage, and hence this wouldn't have been running the suites twice (although there would likely be something vague in the middle where both existed, and we probably would need the tests).

I would suggest having a quick look around. For now, mbox should be enough I think.
