There are not many MUA's known to store emails in Maildir format.
The ones i know that are good and will support other functionality that
i need like filters, pgp and multiple accounts are as follows;
- Kmail (KDE)
- Evolution (no idea if there's a windows version).
Opera Mail is listed as supporting Maildir format but not used it or
heard any +ve or -ve reviews to say anything about it.
So any day i would go for an MUA with Maildir - but after the migration
woes from Evolution to Thunderbird a couple of years back. I dont want
to go back to a less supported format.
But i would gladly and i mean gladly go back to Evolution in an instance.
HTH.

Mich,
Does Thunderbird store in Maildir format?
There is really no good reason why the user whose taken me this far is using Outlook. It should be easy to migrate the user to another MuA, given that even the backend they access is Dovecot. They can use Windows (no suitable replacement known - not to them, I swear).
