No.

1. The default will be ^(?:new|cur|\..*)$ which skips the tmp
directory.

2. The code does not count other files that happen to be in a
maildir directory or subdirectory, for example, the "maildirsize"
file in the top directory, or any "mailfolder" files that are in
maildir folder subdirectories.

In other words, the code has some knowledge of what a maildir++
directory is supposed to look like, and what it is trying to do is to
compute the size and number of the messages therein.
