Looking for a guide on converting to Maildir.
Here are our relevant specs.
sendmail-8.12.11-4.RHEL3.6 (we may not be able to upgrade this due to too many modifications) imap-2002d-14 procmail-3.22-10.el3.centos.0
To a maildir setup...
<rant> I was in a panic today at work because the backup server is filling up too quickly, backing up peoples email. Further it is not backing up often enough. I just lost all of today's email. I hate mbox and imap and outlook... </rant>
All the maildir stuff I can find is postfix oriented. From what I can read in procmail man pages, it supports maildir and sendmail uses procmail as the LDA, hence sendmail "supports" it.

And with regard to backup space, it might be time to suck it up and tell your users that you need to implement mail quotas. How much are you backing up from "Sent" and "Trash" because nobody maintains their mail folders? A quota can be a great tool for teaching basic mail folder housekeeping.
I'll suggest to use journaled-quota. In case of some filesystem problems there'll be no need to do quotacheck(8) if you're using ext3.
