Yeah, roundcube isn't the fastest, I think it does some stuff client side
which others do server side, but this may have been updated. It has an
annoying bug (swapping the sender and subject fields) in Konqueror which puts
a big downer on it for me.
Dovecot is nice. It went through a stage a while ago where the config syntax
drastically changed every five minutes but hopefully that's stopped now. It
isn't the nicest config syntax IMHO but the server itself seems to work well.
It shouldn't take much to get dovecot up and running either with system users
or virtual. I haven't used courier so can't compare sorry.
Once the POP3 daemon on a server stopped serving mail on me all of a suddon
but a service restart fixed it promptly. This is the only problem I've had in
around a year so I can't really complain much. Haven't had any problems with
the IMAP daemon.
It will be nice when the dovecot lda which supports sieve is finished.
