+\r
+It's still a little bit "experimental", but it's there:\r
+\r
+ https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Maildir\r
+ https://jaisejames.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/to-activate-maildir-in-thunder=\r
+bird/\r
+ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D58308\r
+\r
+To do it, you'd set the user preference\r
+ mail.serverDefaultStoreContractID to\r
+ "@mozilla.org/msgstore/maildirstore;1"\r
+=20\r
+\r
+If you do this, your mail will end up in nested maildirs under:\r
+~/.thunderbird/ImapMail/$SERVERNAME/\r
+\r
+YMMV as to the reliability of thunderbird with this setup. I've had\r
+some problems with it, but i tend to think those problems are more\r
+likely due to my trying to interface with a janky MS Exchange server's\r
+IMAP implementation (i haven't tried to debug against a more sane IMAP\r
+implementation).\r
+\r
+The other approach is to set up a local IMAP server like dovecot that\r
+stores mail in maildir form, and just have thunderbird talk to it\r
+directly.\r
