We do primarily SME 'corporate' services, (and R&D) so are *way* below that on any one server. Enough so as to be able to afford near-real-time checking - essentially 24x7 continuous login, and no POP. IMAP-only with local sync, full archiving, etc. But, from curiosity, where do you ID scalability barriers in Dovecot vs Cyrus - aside from Cyrus obvious longevity/experience advantage?
