As for Windoze IMAP clients... I personally use PC-Pine (the Windows
version of the legendary Unix mail reader -
http://www.washington.edu/pine). I also know that mail reader in the
Netscape browser supports IMAP and I would guess that MS IE does as
well. Eudora also probably supports IMAP.
As for Linux IMAP servers, as far as I know there are two - University
of Wahington's and Cyrus's:
http://www.washington.edu/imap/
http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/cyrus/
(both URLs located through a "IMAP" search on Freshmeat
(http://freshmeat.net/)
I believe an IMAP server ships with most Linux distributions. I know
that Redhat uses the Univ Wash version.
Another option you have is to allow your users to read email using a Web
based email reader. I have used IMP (http://web.horde.org/imp/) and TWIG
(http://screwdriver.net/twig/), and have found both to be very handy.
IMP is fancier but requires a Javascript enabled browser - TWIG is
simpler but can run in any browser (including Lynx). Both support IMAP.
If you use either of these, you must also run a web server and are thus
trading IMAP load for HTTP load - but your admin time might be
significantly less since you don't have to fool around with the Windows
machine - the Windows users just use their Web Browser to read email.
