Hypermail use mbox format en not maildir, i will back to mbox but how?
Maby i can convert maildir2mbox? the problem is the new mail must be append to mbox.

You must install another POP3/IMAP daemon then. I guess you are currently using dovecot, but dovecot uses Maildir, not mbox.

You can use maildir2mbox to convert your mailboxes: http://www.ezmlm.org/man/man1/maildir2mbox.1.html

BTW, I don't recommend to change to Sendmail. It's so difficult to configure. Postfix is very easy compared to that.

And dont forget to uncheck the "maildir" checkbox in ISPConfig under management > server > settings :)
