Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email is most likely an ISPConfig thing,
since I don't recall ever seeing that in a CentOS menu anywhere. So without
knowing what that is doing, we can't tell you what commands you might run
over SSH to make the equivalent changes. 

Most likely it involves changing the configuration file for your MTA
(Postfix, exim, sendmail) - but again, we don't know what that is, so we
can't tell you.

There's not going to be one magic command you can run to "enable Maildir" on
your server.
