AFAIK cur is used for Imap connections, meaning read e-mail messages are stored in this directory.

I think your right. I use IMAP and all read mail end up there. With POP they never end up there, since they get downloaded to the mail client. ;-)

This is correct.  With regards to IMAP, the CUR directory contains all messages which have already been viewed with a client such as OE or webmail.  The NEW directory contains messages which have not yet been viewed in a client.
