Try CMU's cyrus; there's no debian package yet, but it's a superb
server, and actually the basis for many excellent commercial servers.
It stores mail messages in individual files, but not in a
mailreader-supported format, so it won't allow you to keep a normal mail
spool; clients must use POP or IMAP.
See http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/cyrus/index.html, which is
unfortunately very out of date. Use the latest version (1.6.13), not
the one listed on the page. Available at
ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail.
