I second John's advice... I've run UW IMAP and

cyrus, and cyrus is far more scalable.... In the
past its been difficult
to set up, but now Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 (and a
few other
distributions) comes with cyrus RPM packages that
make the job much
easier. I can't comment on courier, but i think its
also quite good.
I can also point you to an excellent guide to
setting cyrus up together
with postfix, a Mysql based authentication system
and a web based
admin. once you've got all that working,
squirrelmail installs and
runs easily:

I recently completed setting up such a system, and
it works beautifully.
Finally, if you're really dead set on courier, Ralf
Hildebrant's "The
Book of Postfix" (a superb book!) has a chapter on
"a company mail
server" , describing how to set up a complete mail
system based on
Postfix, Cyrus Sasl, LDAP, Courier MailDrop and
Courier Imap

One more question
Regarding the storage.
I have more than 160k users, so could I use
affordeable NAS or SAN and make more than one server
stores the emails and read from them so in case one
server fail, others would still run?
Thank you,
-Abdullah
I use cyrus 2.2.12-xx on my FreeBSD 5.4.
