I'm an administrator of both a sendmail and qmail server (qmail running Maildir); and have found Maildir to be absolutly wonderful. Very straightforward and easy to keep working properly; if there's a large message that a user can't download, simply navigate through the FS and remove it. I can't speak for any IMAP features, as we are only doing POP; but at least from the administrator standpoint, it is wonderful.
One day some enterprising bureaucrat will suddenly think "why stop at taking money from people who can play the lottery?"; and then there will be government sponsored video games; where they never, ever have to pay out to anyone..of course, the idea will fail because the games will be called something along the lines of "The little litigating lawyers"...but it's still a scary thought..

This is not exactly true. Java uses references, which are essentially pointers with a bit different syntax (due to the fact that Java is not C).
Sorry to be pedantic, just wanted to point this out.
