Courier is the only one that seems friendly (excerpt from their web site):

Courier-IMAP is popular on Qmail/Exim/Postfix sites that are configured to use maildirs. The primary advantage of maildirs is that multiple applications can access the same Maildir simultaneously without requiring any kind of locking whatsoever. Maildir is a faster and more efficient way to store mail. It works particularly well over NFS, which has a long history of locking-related woes.

Please note that this is in reference to Maildir NOT in reference to mbox format mail stores.
