This is a Mailbox in MH style.

This happen, if you use a filter like

:0
* 1 From:.*mutt-users
some_mailbox/.

pleae note the "." at the end of the Mailbox.
which mean:

        some_mailbox            produce ONE mailbox file
        some_mailbox/           give you a Maildir
        some_mailbox/.          is MH style

                          ^^^^
                   you are using "mh"
