if you're using standard mbox format, dovecot is your freind and
is faster than imap-uw since they are indexes. it also known about
courier's maildir format and is really simple to configure.
    http://monkey.org/openbsd/archive/misc/0405/msg00490.html

if you're using maildir mbox format, consider courier-imap or binc-imap.
if you're using virtual domains, courier-imap would be your friend.
