    That command can be used when creating a Maildir tree "by hand" or from a
    script. It's not needed to get exim4 to deliver in Maildir format.

    Yes; you need to set the "maildir_format" option to "true" in the relevant
    transport, as detailed at
    http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.20/doc/html/spec_25.html#IX1874 .

    Yes.
