I use rubymail (http://www.lickey.com/rubymail/). Maildirs are a
helluvalot simpler than mboxes. A maildir is simply a directory with
three standard subdirectories under it named cur, new, and tmp. Each
of these directories contains one file per mail message, with a name
based on the epoch time. Rubymail + the standard library is more than
adequate to do any reasonable manipulation of a maildir very easily,
without an explosion of complexity.
