I heard so many bad things and read so many posts on the postfix-users and other lists that I can only recommend dovecot, which I use. -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Ralf.Hildebrandt at charite.de) snickebo at charite.de Postfix - Einrichtung, Betrieb und Wartung Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 http://www.arschkrebs.de "It's easy to cry 'bug' when the truth is that you've got a complex system and sometimes it takes a while to get all the components to co-exist peacefully."-Doug Vargas

Im start migration from Cyrus to Dovecot not far ago. Im have only 500 maildirs, but... For now im can say what Dovecot is faster in IMAP. Im use my maildir with 40000 emails with many many subfolders - it is much faster. Security: http://dovecot.org/security.html Migration: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration And so on. Many answers to your questions on dovecot.org. In this list someone post his load average grafs on *really* heavy load servers. Search it. Only thing what dovecot is not supported against Cyrus is replication, but it is planed on roadmap. P.S. Im start to hate cyrus then this happened and happened again with no answer from developers: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/2007-November/027889.html And this: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/2008-May/029163.html P.P.S. Dovecot is really on heavy development and seems to be best IMAP daemon on opensource now. And Timo help a lot for many people in this list. -- Best regards, Proskurin Kirill
