I've searched the mailing lists and Googled for information and I think I'm correct to assume that I can switch from Courier to Binc, meaning that all functionality of the programs listed below will work with Binc. However, I'd like to verify with the list that my assumption is correct. Here's the list of software I use now (some programs are not directly related to IMAP but I decided to list them for completeness' sake):
qmail courier-imap (cdb) vqadmin qmailadmin sqwebmail ezmlm maildrop simscan spamd/spamc clamav
Three remaining questions:
Will everything still work when using IMAPdir instead of maildir++?
Depends on what you mean by work, and on how you "shadow" the maildir directory. If all deliveries go to INBOX, then that's easy - most maildir2IMAPdir converters leave symlinks in place for things to still use the Maildir directory appropriately, so deliveries will still work. Maildrop scripts will need to be altered to deliver to the correct locations if they deliver somewhere other than INBOX. And of course, courier-imap won't exactly work anymore ;)
The trick will be: anything that creates new folders has to be made aware of the new locations of everything.
How should I tackle quota?
No idea - I don't use quotas, and didn't when I converted from Courier to Binc, so someone else will have to help you out.
How should I tackle shared folders?
Echhh. Shared folders. Personally? I recommend ditching them and going to a mailing list instead (it just makes life easier). Shared folders, last I heard, are a feature that's going to be in Binc 1.3 (read: not available yet, but it's on the wishlist).
