Courier-IMAP. Easy to configure (you don't need too), easy to setup
(just read 'man maildirmake' several times) and fast.
Many people swear by UoW IMAPD, but administrators generally swear _at_
it after a while. mbox storage is slow and dangerous, and it has
problems with multiple connections.
Cyrus is also supposed to be very fast, but as it doesn't use the unix
password database it means managing a seperate user database. Of
course, for many people that is exactly what is required...
