Reported on mailing list: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/docs@python.org/thread/NIXFQMWFNSNO6RXPINY56CQQ5L7QIRUV/

qmail.org is dead.  The mailbox doc [1] contains two links to man pages in qmail.org.
Can we just remove them?

Seems like we meant to reference to the maildir specification, which used to be hosted in qmail.com

Since qmail is gone, how about we refer to maildir info here? https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir

Thanks for the PR @ZackerySpytz - this has landed in git head and is currently being backported to 3.9 and 3.8 (3.7 is in security-fix only mode).
