Mail programs seem to be greatly affected by cults of personality.
Maildir is unsupported in UW-IMAP because Mark Crispin has had some
previous fights with Dan Bernstein (developer of qmail and maildir). I
understand the good feelings there are pretty mutual.

There are patches for maildir support. However the combination of
UW-IMAP and Maildir I think is always likely to have serious
performance problems.
