Re: Courier or Cyrus
There is also Binc IMAP, though if you already use Courier I can't think
of a reason to switch. Maybe someone else can say more about Binc.
http://www.bincimap.org/
I can't say anything about Cyrus, because I have never used it.
I use Courier in a bunch of small implementations and one large. It
works. I wish it had better documentation in some places.
For larger implementations, depending upon your usage patters, things
like the filesystem will make a lot of difference. Turn off atime and
other goofy things to lower IO wait time and such. Be sure to have
enough memory, etc.
Good luck on your project
