I've been using cyrus for couple of years now and it's quite robust & 
fast. In addition it merges nicely with postfix, so there are no 
problems on that front either. The biggest drawback with Cyrus is the 
learning curve - The documentation is a bit lacking, but the 
mailinglists help there. ( I have to admit that when choosing my 
IMAP-server back then the license was one of the main factors...)

In addition many of the webmail systems like Squirrel or Horde work 
nicely on Cyrus.
