My setup:

MUA - mutt works with Maildir.
POP3 retriever - getmail works with Maildir (see link below).
If you want something more specific, please be more specific.

But one of the best things about Maildir is that (gasp!) normal Unix utilties
work with Maildir!  Want to find that message to Joe you wrote last week?
`find Maildir/cur -type f -ctime -7 | xargs grep 'To: joe'`.  No need for
special "mboxgrep" commands and such.
