One thing to keep in mind.  IMAP doesn't always allow concurrent access
to mailboxes.  If more than one user needs to access the mailbox at the
same time, then you need to be careful.  

Specifically UoW IMAP (the default shipped with redhat) stores it's
messages in standard Unix format, this does not allow concurrent
access.  You can convert the mailboxes to another format such as mbx
(not mbox) that does support concurrent access.  Unfortunately to do
this you have to use the imap-utils package which redhat does not ship. 
You need to remove the imap rpms and hand compile UoW imap-2002, this
will give you the tools you need convert mailbox formats, to allow
concurrent imap access.  When you compile you can also set the default
new mailbox format to mbx.  Also, the mbx format is faster.
