[CentOS] Converting to maildir

Looking for a guide on converting to Maildir.

Here are our relevant specs.

sendmail-8.12.11-4.RHEL3.6 (we may not be able to upgrade this due to too many
modifications)
imap-2002d-14
procmail-3.22-10.el3.centos.0

To a maildir setup...

<rant>
I was in a panic today at work because the backup server is filling up too
quickly, backing up peoples email. Further it is not backing up often enough. I
just lost all of today's email. I hate mbox and imap and outlook...
</rant>

All the maildir stuff I can find is postfix oriented. From what I can read in
procmail man pages, it supports maildir and sendmail uses procmail as the LDA,
hence sendmail "supports" it.
