absolutely - apparently uw-imap is capable of using maildir too, but I
never knew that until I had switched over to cyrus-imapd.

you can use dovecot - I definitely like cyrus-imapd, love sieve, mail
quotas, shared folders, autocreate folders/shared folders, autocreate
sievescripts, multiple backend stores, etc. Speed is only one of the
reasons. As I said, the long view of living with a mail daemon makes
things like initial setup and conversion pretty much meaningless.
