Ok, since this was met with stoney silence, and my searches for using VM
with Maildir haven't been too fruitful, how about MH format? I assume VM
still supports that, right?

I could convert my Maildir folders back to MH (as they were
originally). Then I'd be using VM to fetch new mail from POP3 servers
and add it to the MH repository, and of course to read, reply, forward,
etc.

Thanks,

P.S. - Apologies again for sending with mutt. My .vm is currently a
shambles as I tried getting Maildir working.
