Hi

I'm still looking for the Perfect Server. [but in the mean while].

I currently have postfix/uw-imapd installed on my server.

The default folder format has one big problem: only one process may read
the same mailbox at a time.

I want to keep my users as real unix users, for various reasons. Thus it
seems I have 3 alternatives:

1. UW's docs recommend using mbx mail folders.
2. There is a patch hanging around to add maildir support to UW-imapd
3. dump uw-imapd, and use courier-imapd (uses maildir as well).

I only lately noticed that the run-time configuration of wu-imapd actually
works (/etc/c-client.cf , see imaprc.txt in the docs)

Using the mbx format requires me to get the package imap-utils from UW. I
have found virtually no RPM package of this one. I figure that this means
that peope rarely use it. Anybody here uses it?

Regarding the Maildir patch: Anybody here had good/bad experince with it?

My main problem with courier-imapd is that the transision is more
complicated. Plus, it has a reputation of not behaving well with
mis-behaving clients (and from what I see: any imap client is a
misbehaving client, currently). Opinions on that?
