I use cyrus imap (and pop). Setup is easy, and there are tools for tranfer.
I have never seen a lock up problem with it. I have actually opened multiple evo's to the same mailbox (and hammered it). Cyrus is a bit different in that all mail stays under the cyrus account and is stored in a central spool. This means local tools like elm will not work. POP and IMAP still works. Cryus uses pam so users do not have to have a /etc/passwd account on the system. I use a gdbm file and script on one system. I have friends runnign large scale school systems on cyrus+perl_ldap, everything is web based. This allows for a greater security model (not the least is that your email password does not mean anything past email). On the whole I have found no problems with Cyrus itself, and it has a lot of features I never get around to using.
