nnmaildir has some nice features.  For example, it's easy to share a
maildir with your colleagues (in the sense that you read/write the
same directory).  You can specify which marks are per-user and which
marks will shared by users.  So for example you can make it so that
ticking a message is seen by everybody whereas marking it as dormant
is only seen by you.

nnmaildir also tries to be fast, I think.  Maybe it's faster even (for
some operations) than nnml?
