It depends on whether zsh was compiled with MAILDIR_SUPPORT defined.

Look at the mailstat() function, also in utils.c.  Note that if it finds
that the directory being examined is a maildir, then it falsifies the
stat structure to behave as if the directory is actually a plain file.
In this case it won't recur into subdirectories.

There is no support for hierarchical objects that are simultaneously mail
folders and containers of other mail folders.
