…lbox.Maildir (pythonGH-1163) Hi, I've faced an issue w/ `mailbox.Maildir()`. The case is following: 1. I create a folder with `tempfile.TemporaryDirectory()`, so it's empty 2. I pass that folder path as an argument when instantiating `mailbox.Maildir()` 3. Then I receive an exception happening because "there's no such file or directory" (namely `cur`, `tmp` or `new`) during interaction with Maildir **Expected result:** subdirs are created during `Maildir()` instance creation. **Actual result:** subdirs are assumed as existing which leads to exceptions during use. **Workaround:** remove the actual dir before passing the path to `Maildir()`. It will be created automatically with all subdirs needed. **Fix:** This PR. Basically it adds creation of subdirs regardless of whether the base dir existed before. https://bugs.python.org/issue30088 (cherry picked from commit e441847) Co-authored-by: Sviatoslav Sydorenko <wk@sydorenko.org.ua>
