We installed Courier IMAP 2.2.0-1.8.0 and Binc IMAP 1.2.3-1 and compared them.
There are a lot of good things about Binc IMAP but let me talk only about the not so good ones ok?
We had problems with an account which had big emails and Binc was terminating abnormally because it consumed too much memory, we asked on this list and have been told that Binc loaded all the message in memory for processing; we think this is bad, we don't like arbitrary limits like that, and doesn't talk very well about Binc's maturity and good technology/design.
I saw a problem with Binc and Mozilla junk mail controls, asked on this list and I have been told that Binc doesn't support custom flags or attributes or tags or something like that.
Another thing that I noticed, is that with Mozilla Binc is slower than Courier, don't ask me why; with Outlook, Outlook Express and Evolution is unoticeable, could be a bug in Mozilla though.
So I am more biased towards Courier IMAP right now, though we still have not taken the final decision about what IMAP server to use.
I reiterate: please, take this as observations and maybe as a wish list for things to fix/add.
I liked the way Binc integrates with QMail, it was really easy to install and adapt to our custom environment, for Courier I had to modify the C++ source of an authentication module to make it work as we want.
Thanks very much for Binc IMAP!!!
