The code was "check for directory, check regex". I have now changed it
to "check regex, check for directory". Either way round, "maildirfolder"
is skipped, but the new order avoids a stat(). Thanks for making me
realize this.

BTW, as soon as I have finished this bit of rewrite (hopefully on
Monday - it has taken longer than I would have liked), I will make a
snapshot available for testing.
