We are planning to replace our current mail server which is

IMAP server with more security. The RH distribution has dovecot as
a secure IMAP server, but I have heard little about it.
What would be your recommendations for quickly moving our existing
server and accounts to a new platform.
Which IMAP server would you use?
Which is the easiest to manage?
What benefits are there for your particular recommendation that set
it appart from the others?
All input will be appreciated.
We use a combination of tools that center around Postfix. I have
found the directions here[1] to be very useful, and am currently
running a pretty busy server with this configuration. It provides
webmail, anti-virus/spam, IMAP, POP, SMTP (authenticated), ssl, etc.
All email server admin (as far as users, aliases, etc) are done via
mysql, which fits me nicely. :)
This tutorial is really designed for the Debian/Ubuntu crowd though.
I know Hans likes Dovecot .
