Maildir has seperate folders that contain the state of a message (cur,
new, tmp) where cyrus has indexes in each directory, right? Six of one,
half dozen of the other.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how an IMAP server that uses
maildir would offer you any advantages in this regard that Cyrus wouldn't.
