Well, I think last time I tested courier was last Spring, so if I get time I'll test it again and see if the problems I had before have been resolved. It's too bad Courier doesn't support SIEVE :o( Oh well.

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is an Internet standards-track protocol for accessing messages (mail, bboards, news, etc). The Cyrus IMAP server differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it is generally intended to be run on sealed servers, where normal users are not permitted to log in. The mailbox database is stored in parts of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP system. All user access to mail is through the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols.
That might work for me, local users have the shell /bin/false, but I wonder how well this works our for the majority.

It has that SIEVE server-side filtering stuff that no other IMAP server has. That would be really sweet for Mandrake. I'd even have the SquirrelMail package configured to use it by default. I worry about switching to Courier :o( but if we could go Cyrus, I'd say let's go Maildir. I really personally think Cyrus should be in (and the mass of votes for that over courier on the club is telling).
