Well after that, you can then simply convert the new mboxes to Maildir/ again 
with one of the many tools available for doing it :-) Quite roundabout but it 
should work.

To get back to the focus of the whole thing. I think for this setup postfix 
with a mysql backend would be the easiest way to go. The howtos are really 
detailed and friendly with step by step instructions. Exim can be 
intimidating the first time you get to using it especially with a database 
backend unless you're a code writer and understand regular expressions and 
the like.

There is a howto at http://kirb.insanegenius.net/postfix.html that is quite 
good.
Squirrelmail which comes with SuSE nowadays will make a good webmail system 
once you have apache with php installed.
it has been a long time since I looked at Mdaemon and I can barely remember 
the address book format however you probably can use LDAP for the address 
books. it is pretty standard and you may find that is what MDaemon uses.
