OK, I'm *REALLY* pleased with myself.

I have a stock RedHat / Sendmail setup on a test system

I have installed the patched procmail.
in /etc/procmailrc is the line:
ORGMAIL=/usr/home/$LOGNAME/Maildir/

Have converted mbox's with one of the convert scripts available on qmail.org

Any .procmailrc files in the home directories just need a trailing / on the
foldername, then procmail will deliver to folder/new (maildir format)

Installed the patched imapd server.

IMAP is heaps faster when dealing with large mailbox's.  Because IMAP is a
standard, any client capable of talking IMAP will work.
Micro$soft Outlook Express runs much better, moving messages and renaming
folders finally works properly.  I can have Folders with mail messages AND
sub folders (something you couldn't have before).  Netscape just fine (of
course)

Now the big challenge (what started this) is to get all that neat stuff to
compile on SCO
