Don't let such alarmist talk scare you. uw-imapd is quite secure. I must
admit the authors approach to security gives people queasy feelings
though. Nevertheless, there haven't been any exploits for a long time and
I feel quite safe using it.

The special format is the reason cyrus performs better. You can get
similiar performance increases with uw-imapd by using mbx format but that
also isn't compatible with the traditional format.
