Courier-imap is ok, I used to use it - but dovecot whips it up one side and down another - always has, but since about 1.1, it has become rock-solid, and is so much faster (and lighter on system resources) than courier that I don't understand why anyone still uses it (courier). -- Best regards, Charles
