imap-maildir: production quality UW-imap server Maildir support
http://www.davideous.com/imap-maildir/
Quick Summary:
The University of Wisconsin IMAP server by Mark Crispin, one of the most
popular IMAP servers, does not have built-in Maildir support. There is a
patch which adds in a Maildir driver, but it falls short of a workable
solution in a few ways. This page details a few patches which clean up a few
issues and make the UW-IMAP server fully workable with Maildirs and qmail.
This gets around the problem (to my satisfaction) in the maildir driver
where you can't copy between maildir folders and non-maildir folders. The
solution is to make users which have a maildir INBOX only use maildir
folders: new folders are created as maildirs and only maildir folders are
returned by the IMAP LIST command.
Included on the web page are all the patches to build your own, or an RPM
file for RedHat-based Linux users.
