I've decided that it's time to re-invent our e-mail system. Sendmail has
already been replaced by postfix. Now it's time to deal with IMAP.

What I need is an IMAP server that handles virtual domains, "virtual"
(non system) users, and that can handle different imap name spaces. SASL
authentication is also a must, as is a very low price tag. Scalability
and performance would be nice, but at the moment, it's not essential.

I've narrowed it down to 2 servers.
Cyrus. Does everything but virtual domains.
Courier. Does everything but user defined name spaces.

As it stands now, I'm going to "fix" one of the two. Question is, which
one?

I really have 2 questions. 1) Is there another well developed IMAP
server I should look at? 2) If you are using one of these 2, what are
it's good and bad points.

If you'll reply to me off list, I'll summarize and post the summary back
to the list.

Thanks for the help!
