Three comments:
1. GNUS, another EMACS mail/news reader, has no problem with Maildir.
They might want to just use that.
2. Searching around briefly, I see a message that rmail users can use
'maildir2mbox' to convert their Maildir into standard mbox format.
rmail can be configured to run a program to check new mail, and if
you set up a script that runs maildir2mbox in an appropriate way,
then have it run that when it's checking mail, it should just work.
See:

3. You might want to search around and see if there is a newer version
of rmail than the one they're using, which perhaps supports Maildir
natively.
Hope this is helpful,
