You don't need to modify the tpop3d code-- just change the
rows in the database to refer to .../Maildir, change the
auth-mysql-...-query directives in the config file to
return `maildir' rather than `bsd', and away you go. You
can also mix mailbox types by putting the mailbox type in
another database field.

You may need to make minor changes to the vmail-sql code.

OK. My long term plan is to implement an IMAP server for
this application. But this will obviously make some
demands upon my Copious Free Time(TM).
