Exim also does Maildir. Sendmail with do Maildir if you config it to use
procmail as the LDA (local delivery agent) & drop a couple lines into
/etc/procmailrc

Then you'll need a Maildir compatible imap daemon. I highly recommend
courier. If you'd like the two lines to add to your mc to set procmail as
your LDA, let me know.

PS. Maildir screams. If you're doing squirrelmail with it, you're gonna be
a lot happier.
