I have to admit I wasn't very precise when asking for 'proper' maildir
handling. In fact, I didn't intent to ask for a solution that maps the complete
label concept (which as you stated is way more powerful) onto the old-fashioned
directory based approach. What I rather had in mind was a subset like the
exception that is made for sent mail for the other standard directories. Sent
mail is already being copied into a specified source to be kind of backwards
compatible with the classical maildir structure. And I would feel it to be a
natural extension to do so for spam, deleted, read mail as well.

Thanks for the hint. Since two very well respected colleagues of mine are using
'not much' right now, you might want to add that one to your list in case you
don't mind using emacs.
