It depends how you define "production environment".
By "production environment", in this case, I mean this: users expect their mail to work without any real issue. I can give them guidelines (i.e. not to use folder synchronization) but if they follow the guidelines they expect their mail clients to work 100%. If they have problems they call me (and I'd like to avoid it).
I have ran COurier on two parallel RH8 systems for almost a year with some 100 accounts where almost all of them use OE and I would say that you may experience some problems, but those are not on the Courier side but on OE.
What are the problems that you experienced?
Thank you very much for your help!

Subject: [courier-users] Courier IMAP + Outlook Express Feedbacks
Hi all! I'm working on a quite critical email project. We want to use Imap in order to reduce client management complexity (email backups, etc...).
I'm using very happily Courier Imap and Mozilla since 2 years now so I'm very confident with Mozilla and Courier Imap interoperability.
But now we would need to deploy IMAP to 300 users and we need also to select an IMAP client. The more obvious choise would be outlook express (for a number of reason).
I've tested for a couple of days OE 6 without any serious problem. The only drawback is that it tries to always download attachments from the server even if I "click" on them.
The questions are: - What is your experience with the combination of OE and Courier Imap? - is the Imap interoperability robust enough to use it in a production environment? - Which are the release combinations that can be considered "stable"?
Thanks to everyone for feedbacks!
Ciao Paolo
