I can't speak for the commercial servers (I think Communigate Pro, in
particular, prides itself on being a polyglot; that's worth looking into).
Cyrus IMAP server does not; never will. Cyrus uses their own mail
format which is only accessible via Cyrus IMAPd. It is by design a sealed
server.
UW IMAP server does not support Maildir *as distributed*, but there are
rumours of patches floating around which will add it. My brain cells
remember a recent thread on comp.mail.imap which discussed this, and Marc
Crispin (author of UW) basically said "I won't add Maildir" for whatever
reasons. (DejaNews fails to confirm my brain cells in this, so take that
for what its worth).
You're probably running UW-IMAP, and your best bet is to try and find a
patch for it that will do Maildir. Searching comp.mail.imap archvies on
Dejanews might help, as might asking on that group, if you can't find
anything searching.

Nevermind -- as Eric Ess has pointed out, the UW->Maildir patches are
available via the qmail web site...
