Maildir is fine as long as you don't have too much mail on your storage, but there comes a point when you are getting big enough where Maildir really isn't going to behave really nicely anymore, because too many files and way too many seeks. Mdbox is quite different and scales beyond the point of Maildir with ease.
that may only be true depending om your filesystem
it may be no more supported for obvious reasons, but reiserfs will never be beaten for maildir and maildir is time tested and proven in very large environments with millions of users, with many GB quotas runs perfect with depuping on netapps too.
