For MySQL, make sure you compile Exim with MySQL support otherwise
you'll be fighting a loosing battle from the start. Set up a user
with read only access to the MySQL database that contains your
usernames and passwords and configure Exim with lines not totally
dissimilar from:
mysql_servers = "servername::3306/database/user/password"
Then in your director have a line a bit like:
local_parts = ${lookup mysql {SELECT username FROM table WHERE login='${quote_mysql:$local_part}';}{$value}}
For Maildir format just use maildir_format in the relevant transport
(see
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.20/doc/html/spec_15.html#SEC445)
Again you need to compile in support for Maildir with the
MAILDIR_SUPPORT macro in /path/exim/Local/Makefile. Also
worth reading is
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.20/doc/html/spec_15.html#SEC471
As for IMAP, that's nothing to do with Exim really.
I hope that's of some use. Your best bet really is to read
the Exim specification; I know you probably all documented-out
by now, but it really is worth it. You will certainly need
to anyway, as the snippets above won't be much use to you
if you don't! :)
