pop3 and Maildir



Hi, I was wundering if anyone knows of any pop3 daemons for Debian that
support the Maildir format.  We are currently using exim as our MTA with
courier-imap for access to the mailboxes.  I have as yet been unable to
find a courier-pop3d package for Debian, and it would seam that this is
only available as part of the entire courier MTA package which provides
imap, MTA, mailing lists, and such. 

vpopmail is also not an option as it depends on qmail and appears to
have it's own proprietry CDB format for storing usernames and passwords. 

exim currently is just authenticating users from the /etc/passwd
/etc/shadow files, and we are looking in to switching to mysql
authentication here. 

pop3-lite shows promis as it's nice and modularised, but I can not yet
find a plugin to allow it to read for Maildir. 


Any  hints here would be muchly appreciated. 

I am not against the idea of building deb packages from sorce if there
isn't currently anything pre-packaged that will do the job. 



Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
