As far as I am aware, noone has worked on the unofficial pine/c-client
patches to support Maildir for a couple of years.

Here is the traces I have found about them - none of the patches are
up-to-date:

http://debian.jones.dk/official/uw-imap/changelog.maildir/

I maintain the c-client library (which is used in Pine, uw-imap, php4
among others) for Debian and has recently dropped the no longer
maintained patches as I am not skilled myself to maintain them and they
are buggy and incomplete as is, and possibly has security holes.

Please tell me if there is somewhere patches actively supported, so I
can add back the Maildir support in the package.

Oh, or even better: Extend dovecot to include a shared library for use
with php4 and other packages :-)
