Interesting comparison between Peter's and Kyle's solution, Peter's symlink 
Maildir to IMAPdir, while Kyle's use reversed direction,

The former use simple symlink, solid solution but an anoid endless INBOX 
problem, while the latter use more complex way to use standard IMAPdir but 
remain Maildir as symlink for traditional MTA's delivery compatibiliy. IMO, 
it's possible like maildir2imapdir.pl's author  pointed, when the user 
access their imap account for the first time, new email coming the same time 
could be lost.

So how about let MTA delivery to IMAPdir/INBOX directly? Under qmail-ldap is 
it possible to to do like this (of course, not only IMAP users, but also 
POP3 and etc)?
