Look more closely. Mutt handles maildir. > Would it be possible to add this to the debian policy to have Maildir > support in packages like mailx, pine and imapd? AFAIK there is no DFSG-free MTA that supports Maildir. Therefore I don't think that Maildir support should be obligatory via Debian policy. I think we should encourage maintainers to add Maildir support to mail-related packages, but this should be a suggestion, not an obligation under Debian policy. > Is there another mechanism to make debian support this format? I vaguely recall that procmail has some support for it; if that's the case, I think it should be fairly easy to have a "formail" script to convert to mbox or mh format; that could serve as a temporary form of support.
