The pop3 daemon that ships with the qmail package (obviously =) supports
Maildirs. I have used it with great success on high load qmail
installations. The license qmail is published under probably prevents
packaging this daemon separately, but it could be easily broken out and
installed by itself. I've found the tcpserver/qmail-pop3d to be incredibly
effective.
