You mean a maildir - yes this can easily be done. We use that for our
mail systems. Qmail's popper is attractive since the authentication is
abstracted out into a neat small program which does just that and nothing
else.

Maildir is great for simple mail operations. However getting an IMAP
daemon to work on it is more "interesting".
Another serious contender for sealed box mail systems is the Cyrus IMAP
daemon.
