Re: Which IMAP and POP3 servers ?



I use Cyrus IMAP. It's a very high performer.

Cheers,
Jason.

I need to install some IMAP and POP3 servers so users can read mail via

running Debian Potato on a PowerMac G4.

The choice (according to "apt-get -s install imap-server") of available
imap servers is:
  imap 4.7c-1
  courier-imap 0.31-1

The choice (according to "apt-get -s install pop3-server") of available
pop3 servers is:
  cucipop 1.31-13
  qpopper 2.53-5
  ipopd 4.7c-1

Does anyone have any preferences, suggestions or comments regarding
these packages.  I thought I would install "imap" and "ipopd".  Are
these ok or are there better packages ?  qpopper sounds interesting.

Well, cucipop has had a couple reliability issues for me lately (it has
a tendency to deadlock on its status database), but is otherwise good.
courier-imap is supposed to be very nice, although I've never used it
myself.
