Thanks for your quick response. I was suspecting that I might need

It seems that the server specs and bandwidth aren't going to be
that much of
a problem as we're going to be using a large datacenter and have
plenty of
servers setup in clusters. Finding a good, reliable IMAP server is
going to
be a problem it seems. I'll keep looking and, if anyone happens to
have any
recommendations, please feel free to forward them my way.
Just to throw my hat in here - we use OS X's Postfix/Cyrus mail
server (or have for the past 3 years), and while it runs relatively
smoothly, it's lack of configuration power can sometimes tie our
hands and give us a grand headache. I'm not a strong supporter of
it, and have looked for a more robust alternative - especially
after fickle corruption from bootable backups, and other joys. The
bleeding edge version may have some of these tweaked out, just noting.
I think that in terms of large scale solutions, the most popular (and
therefore the most supported) is postfix/mysql. I know Cyrus has
some solutions for large scale configs, but certainly my impression
is that the large installs are dominated by postfix/mysql (or some sql).
