1)Thanks a lot.We will look into that

2) "outside clients"--What I meant was ,if we have our own smtpd delivering
mail to the mailstore, and our own imap client , written in compliance with
Courier IMAP server, to retrieve the mails,there should'nt be any
issues.Please correct me if I am wrong.
Also, is Courier IMAP low, even on performance, apart from the
non-compliance,  when compared to the UW and CMU imapd's ? Maybe we need to
upgrade to UW imapd.


Thanks,

Who told you that Cyrus and UW imapd are not open-source?

UW imapd in particular has an open source that is even more open than GPL.

It depends upon what you mean by "outside clients".

If you only use Outlook, then maybe Courier will work.  But if you use other
clients, you will have problems.
