The three most well known are probably uw-imap, courier-imap, and Cyrus. > advantages, disadvantages, why, why not... Cyrus will scale the best. It's also the most complex. If you have a large site (or expect to have a large site), you probably should use this one. I've been at sites that used uw-imap, and I'm currently running a site that uses Courier IMAP. uw-imap appears to be a bit slower, unless you are using the mbx mailbox format (as opposed to mbox). Courier uses Maildir+ (basically, Maildir with support for folders). If Courier is on top of ReiserFS, it appears to be about as fast as uw-imap using mbx format for small sites. However, I found Courier's IMAP server to be easier to get working with TLS support, so I used that. I don't use the Courier SMTP server, preferring Postfix. > we're hoping for mod_perl (avoiding php) solutions to the > webmail situation... wing seems like a likely candidate, but > there's a dearth of info -- web-imap.sf.net has no screen dumps > and very little marketing-speak... I've only tried two webmail solutions: IMP and Squirrelmail. Squirrelmail has been great, but it's PHP based, so it doesn't appear to meet your reqs. M
