well, it's impossible to make a comparaison, because qmail doesn't
have an integrated imap daemon...

But you can use UW-IMAP or Courier-IMAP with qmail if you want.
The first one only with Mailbox-type boxes, and the second with
Maildirs.

Qmail with Courier IMAP is an excellent choice.

IMAO, UW IMAP sucks as bad as pine. YMMV.

There's a patch to make UW-IMAP work with maildirs. Cyrus is another
IMAP server that can work with qmail. It uses its own mail store
format. LWQ has info about both:
