Install Exim, remember to build it with delivery to Maildir enabled (nb.
edit
the ../Local/Makefile)

Then edit the system configuration file and replace the "local_deilvery"
transport
with something like this

#
# new delivery to 'maildir' format mailboxes
#
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
maildir_format
directory = /home/${local_part}/Maildir
create_directory = true
check_string = ""
escape_string = ""
prefix = ""
suffix = ""
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add


and ensure that your users create the ~/Maildir/... directory structure and
Exim will hapilly deliver into Maildir format mailboxes.


For IMAP and POP3 access Courier-IMAP works a treat - as you know
it can be found at http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/
