I was using the installed sizes as reported for the packages. In the case of
uw-imapd, there were no dependancies that were not already installed on my
system so I did not include them; libc-client-ssl2001, libc6, libpam0g,
libssl0.9.6, openssl.
For courier-imap-ssl, there were several packages that I would have to
install just for courier support so these were included; courier-imap,
courier-ssl, courier-base, courier-authdaemon. If you follow all the
dependancies, courier-imap-ssl includes all the dependancies of uw-imapd
except libc-client-ssl2001, which is 913kB...
Hmm, looks like you are right... the only things on my system using
libc-client-ssl2001 is uw-imapd-ssl and ipopd-ssl. If you look at a
combined courier-pop-ssl+courier-imap-ssl vs ipopd-ssl+uw-imapd-ssl, they
come out pretty much the same, with courier perhaps being slightly in front.
However, I still feel a little uneasy about running a seperate authdaemon
and serverdaemon just for pop/imap.
