See my other recent message about the security implications of running courier-imap. Also, maildirs are a mediocre idea for general use, and a horrible idea for high volume mail spools. The whole idea behind IMAP is for the mail to reside on the mail server, not a user's workstation. Maildirs eat inodes like nobody's business. If you're using FFS to host a fairly high traffic mail spool you'll probably need to newfs your filesystem with a /ton/ of inodes. The only solution is to use a filesystem which dynamically allocates inodes like XFS. Cyrus uses a much more efficient storage mechanism. Brandon D.
