The format you're describing is maildir which Courier happens to implement.
Other apps use maildir too.  If you're looking for something that does IMAP,
you may want to check out Cyrus.  I've used it successfully but it has its
own mailstore.  It's similar to maildir in that each message is stored in its
own file, but it doesn't have the 'new' and 'cur' subdirectories, etc.
