Maildir has many strength, but I don't think this is one of those.
In fact IIRC maildir isn't well suited to imap access and for this reason courier author had to modify some of the maildir semantics.
OTOH cyrus mailstore has been designed from the ground up with imap access in mind (and manages quotas as well).
Anyway, don't take my word for it, it's been a while since I looked into courier (since cyrus works so well for me I've no reason to look into it again). And I do like the concept of a "sealed" server (though I have it on the same box) not messing around in users' homedirs.
