As for speed issues,
emerge -s imapproxy
I've been using that against courier-imap(s) for a couple years now.
It's amazing to put in front of large/deep imap stores. Also works
wonders in front of notoriously slow imap or imap-ssl servers like
Notes / Exchange, if you must use those pieces of crap.
Enjoy :)

Hello all,
This has been discussed several times in #gentoo-server on
irc.sourceforge.net, but I am still looking for a solution for IMAP
filtering for courier-imap. Maybe my setup is just wrong, but IMAP is
annoyingly slow compared to pop3. The only advantage I have in using
imap is that I can sync my mail on any box and access via squirrelmail
and have all my archived email available.
My current setup is courier-imap-ssl -> evolution 2.2.1.1 which I have
configured with all the recommended speedup tricks I could find.
Sometimes, when things try to sync, it just becomes unusable for
thirty
seconds or more. Quite annoying. Filtering is incredibly slow compared
to filtering with pop3. I see plans by the evolution devs to make a
better sync algorithm. And yes I have used Thunderbird and it is
just as
annoyingly slow.
I have been told that the trick is to do server side filtering on
incoming mail. I don't however think this will fix my problems. This
leaves me to believe that after this many years of IMAP being in
use and
it is still at this level of lameness, that I should return to using
pop3 and create something with cron and rsync to make my mail archive
available on the server. Kind of a lame solution, but functional,
and I
wouldn't have to go on a break every time I want to check my new
email.
I wonder if IMAP is really this broken, or nobody has figured out
how to
make it work properly yet? I've used rsync alot and rsync would work
faster to syncronize server and client. Thoughts? Solutions?
