hi,
i also experienced strange and/or diffrent behaviours from MUAs with Maildir based folders, but i've never seen any logic. just not enough time to trace the problem. i'm trying to get some results with some MUAs and dovecot from cvs, soon.
While I am trying to figure this out, it is quite nice to have a pop3 server that does SSL and ldap and does not require me to have my users in /etc/passwd or a special database. I use Sun's directory server and it works just fine with a TLS:simple connection, which I could not get to work with qpopper.
Please post what you decide. All I want is a common directory sturcture for all users with something like %1s/%s directories per user and a MUA that understands this. It could be that some delivery agent, like procmail, is required and it is not a function of the MUA. From the MUA, I had a lot of problems creating directories and moving mail to a specific folder using filters. I need more time to work on it, so pointers will help.
