FTP to access the maildir, you mean? ssh for sftp? (same purpose)?

storage format and concurrency. with the same hardware, courier-imap 
outperformed dovecot.
at least in most scenarios I've tested, or been told about.

Been there, just that :) - I been sticking around with linux and free software 
since.... well, a lot
of time ago. the kernel was like 3 years old then :)

Yep. I worked for SuSE for along time, and it's an excellent product 
(cyrus+postfix being the
preference at that time, I can't tell now), but mail systems should be simple 
enough, and cyrus
tends to add a couple of steps that turn it into unusable for a beginner admin.
