not for much longer.  there is a testing version of
upas + imap4d on sources (/n/sources/contrib/quanstro/nupas)
that might work for you.

i have not changed the upas/fs interface so older
versions of ned, Mail and imap4d continue to work,
but i have included modified versions of ned, Mail
and imap4d that are careful not to force upas/fs
to read or download every message, as the standard
clients are wont to do.

to that end mail directories (mdirs) are supported
with one unix from line + verbatim message per file.
you'll need the all of nupas installed if you intend
to use mdirs for mail delivery, but the modified upas/fs and
clients are all you'll need for big remote mailboxes.
