I want to ask:  Why do you care what the filenames are (that they have
hostnames in them)?

The mail client and server certainly doesn't care, it just needs unique
names.  So if you can get mail files from machine A onto machine B,
it'll just use them however they're named.  They don't need to have the
same filename as its hostname.

Trying to change maildir filenames requires care, so you don't break
the mail system.  And you use a mail client to read your messages, it
gives you an interface where you don't need to know the filenames that
it's making use of.
