Whatever you do, DON'T move to Maildir if you are using the Prayer webmail software!
We have used Prayer here for many years with the UW IMAP server backend and first Berkeley, then later MBX, format mail folders.
When we migrated new users to Dovecoe with Maildir folders we discovered that Prayer does NOT like Maildir folders. The reason is that Maildir folders are "dual-purpose": each can contain any mix of messages and sub-folders. However Prayer is intrinsically designed to ONLY work with folders that can contain messages or subfolders, but NOT both.
The author of Prayer has (partly thanks to my patches adding UTF-8 and IPv6 support) recently released version 1.1.0 of Prayer which supports dual-use folders out of the box.
