Yes, you have a point there. I suppose that my IMAP usage is very
limited.
However I still prefer to sacrifice some features in order to have a
lighter, simpler, nicer (ok, that's subjetive :) ) IMAP server.

Another thing I could not tell from the bincimap site is whether it can
handle Maildir++ extensions, specifically the quota stuff. That is crucial
to me.
On topic though, I replaced the entire Courier-imap authentication part
with the auth_imap binary that comes with qmail-ldap. Using this, I have
no problems with Courier-3.X.
I replaced this line in the startup script:
old file:
               $TCPD -address=$ADDRESS \
                       -stderrlogger=${sbindir}/courierlogger \
                       -maxprocs=$MAXDAEMONS -maxperip=$MAXPERIP \
                       -pid=$PIDFILE $TCPDOPTS \
                       $PORT ${libexecdir}/courier/imaplogin
$AUTHMODULELIST \
                               ${bindir}/imapd $MAILDIR"
   echo " $DAEMON."
 fi
       ;;
new file:
               $TCPD -address=$ADDRESS \
                       -stderrlogger=${prefix}/sbin/courierlogger \
                       -maxprocs=$MAXDAEMONS -maxperip=$MAXPERIP \
                       -pid=$PIDFILE $TCPDOPTS \
                       $PORT ${prefix}/lib/courier/courier/imaplogin
/var/qmail/bin/auth_imap \
                               /usr/bin/imapd Maildir"
   echo " $DAEMON."
 fi
       ;;

As far as I know it doesn't handle quotas yet. I think it will be 
implemented in one of the later 1.3 releases. Another thing to look at 
is the way it kan handle maildirs when using what is called imapdir as 
depot (http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/Main/IMAPdir)
