I only moved away within the last 6 months I think.... still use it on one of my servers. I know it does keep a cache in the mailbox, but my understanding is it's not where near as sophisticated as Cyrus - but I'll accept I could well be wrong. Also, does courier provide a sieve server? or even support server side filtering of mail? My requirements in my more advanced mail setup wrote of nearly all but Cyrus IMAP server, so I know more about cyrus. Looking at http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/features.html , there is no mention of ACLs, but there is now shared folders I see. Digging briefly into the docs it does support IDLE. Here's a interesting quote though aobut courier and it's Maildir format. "I have 500 MB of archived mail, with several folders with 15,000+ messages in them. Trying to get this to work on a dual-AthlonMP 2200+ system with 2 GB of RAM was not a lot of fun using Courier-IMAP and Maildir. It would take upwards of 30 seconds to load a message index, and it could take even longer to do operations on multiple messages." "I installed Cyrus-IMAP on this same server, copied my messages over from one setup to the other (using Kontact no less), and haven't had any problems since. Folder indexing and access is in the sub 5 second range on my largest folders (just under 20,000 messages to date), and doing operations on multiple messages takes no time at all." from http://dot.kde.org/1106909457/1106958472/ -- Ian P.
