So sprach Daniel E. White am 2002-06-03 um 19:27:12 -0400 :
OK, I am using a combination of Postfix and Courier-IMAP's POP3 server.  Does 
fetchmail work with this combination ?

Yes, since fetchmail only forwards the mail to your local MDA which may
or may not do Maildir.  You'd better ask the gurus from a Postfix
mailinglist.

But anyhow, Postfix is perfectly able to do Maildirs.  Check
/etc/postfix/main.cf:

# DELIVERY TO MAILBOX
#
# The home_mailbox parameter specifies the optional pathname of a
# mailbox file relative to a user's home directory. The default
# mailbox file is /var/spool/mail/user or /var/mail/user.  Specify
# "Maildir/" for qmail-style delivery (the / is required).
#
#home_mailbox = Mailbox
home_mailbox = Maildir/
