this depends on your mail client.

works for me:
[root@csl42 char]# useradd -m 'a&s'
[root@csl42 char]# cd /home/a\&s
[root@csl42 a&s]#
[root@csl42 a&s]# /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake ./Maildir
[root@csl42 a&s]# chown 'a&s' Maildir
[root@csl42 a&s]# chown 'a&s' Maildir/*
[root@csl42 a&s]# echo test | mail 'a&[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
[root@csl42 a&s]# ls -l Maildir/new/
total 1

This is linux.
OpenBSD and BSD/OS adduser dislike it.
Note that at least bash dislike this user name:
[root@csl42 char]# cd ~'a&s'
bash: ~a&s: No such file or directory
vanilla qmail works.
btw: it's hard to read your message. Please keep the lines below 80
characters (limits of 72 or 76 are most often recommended).
