Not if you put a / at the end of the folder name. The slash
will force
maildrop to consider the foldername a Maildir, not a mbox.
If the
Maildir doesn't exist, the message will be deffered, unless
you happen
to wrap it in a exception{} in which case execution will
continue.

Deferred. Then eventually Courier will start giving 4xx
(temporary)
errors for the account. No mail will be lost if the issues
are fixed
before the messages time out in their respective queues.
