Dear Maintainer,

I used to run Balsa but it’s not updated anymore, so I’m switching to
Thunderbird.
Alas, none of my maildirs can be read with Thunderbird. I can see the folders
but I can’t read the mails in them with Thunderbird.
I know that there are issues with maildirs but I used them for about twenty
years in Balsa with absolutely no issue.

Yours,
Nicolas
