Jan,

There is a problem with the UW IMAP server that prevents it from 
transferring between different types of mailboxes, so it's not really fully 
functional when used with Maildirs. You can read the mail in the Inbox but 
you can't move that mail to a sub folder. Cyrus uses a similar design to 
Maildirs (ie each message is a separate file) and handles sub folders with 
no problems. I've just switched to Cyrus and am happy with it thus far.

Hope this helps
