Irritating problem:
1. FOr performance consideration of using huge mbox files for a client,
~   I decided to migrate them to a maildir based boxes. I have been
~    testing this out locally before doing the actual migration.
2. To serve maildirs through POP3 and IMAP, I decided to look at
~   courier-imap. Mails are delivered to individual users through
~   procmail.
3. courier-imap performs well, however creating subfolders in IMAP
~    turns out to be  a major problem. Courier uses its own format for
~    creating subfolders in maildirs (it prefixes subfolder with a dot .)
~    and also creates some auxiliary files for each subfolder.
4. Procmail has no clue how to deliver to such maildirs.

Anybody who has a better combination of software in mind? I need:
1. To use procmail (for various reasons).
2. An delivery mechanism that can handle possibly thousands of mails in
~   a folder. mbox causes too much system load from reading and writing.
3. IMAP/POP3 with mechanisms for subfolders in IMAP.

Thanks,
~ - Sandip
