Hi,

I personnally tend to agree that dovecot is probably a much better
choice than qpopper+uw-imapd.

I agree too. I switched from uw-imapd to dovecot on a medium-sizedserver (~1000 users) a few years ago, and it works much better.


uw-imapd doesn't even (officially) support maildir:

(Although I think Debian has patched it.)
