(1) Create Maildirs for each account (use maildirmake). This should give you
the directory structure
$HOME/Maildir
$HOME/Maildir/new
$HOME/Maildir/cur
$HOME/Maildir/tmp
(2) At this point, users should be able to login, but they won't see any
mail, if it's still arriving in /var/spool/mail/<user>
(3) Modify your sendmail configuration to deliver into Maildirs. This
involves changing your local delivery program to use Maildirs. Depending on
what you use, this may be a config change (e.g. if you have a patched
version of procmail it may already have the ability to deliver into
Maildirs)
It may be easier to throw away sendmail, which is ancient and decrepit, and
replace it with something modern (e.g. exim, postfix, courier MTA, even
qmail would do)
