Yes, but before doing this be sure that your Software does not need atime.
For a brief moment, I had that sinking "Oh No... why didn't I see this earlier" feeling especially since I've already remounted the filesystem with noatime.
Fortunately, so far it seems that everything's still alive and working, keeping fingers crossed :D
The last access time is generally not needed, especially for Maildirs. On our setup, Postfix and Dovecot don't care. I always mount as many file systems as possible with 'noatime'.
(Our IMAP Maildir storage is a 4-disk RAID 1+0 array with a few million individual messages across a lot of accounts.)
