So try something like this (untested)

RC=`maildirmake -f folder Maildir </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 ; echo $?`

$RC will then be 0 for success and non-0 in case of problems.

However, I'm not sure if this triggers writing the mail to a temporary file. It might, so it might be somewhat inefficient -- in that case, you'd be better off wrapping maildrop up in a shell command that checks if the maildir is there, runs maildirmake in case it isn't and only after that execs maildrop "$@". I don't see how this shell wrapper trick would work with -d and userdb support though.
