Sendmail, Cyrus-IMAP, mbox, maildir, berkeley-db

I am confused as to a number of things so I'd appreciate being 
straighted out.  I keep searching the web and looking at documentation 
but I'm getting more confused.

Sendmail stores mail in mbox format.  I'm not sure if it allows other 
storage formats such as maildir or berkeley-db.  And if so how it's enabled.

Cyrus-IMAP unless I'm mistaken by default looks for mail in the 
derkeley-db file format.  I'm not sure if it also supports mbox and if 
so how to configure that.
