} Washington IMAP daemon from PINE 3.94 distribution (horribly wasteful on
} memory, but it does work) plus Qualcomm Popper.

} Both Imap and Pop daemons have been hacked to manage mail delivery into
} home directories. They don't handle over-quota problems very elegantly
} Unlike Exim: thanks Philip!
Is anyone making serious use of Cyrus IMAP (also handles POP).
It looks really nice, but I don't have any feel for scaling (it
appears to use a sequencially searched file of mailbox names - so
could be a problem), or its reliability.
For the UK Universities which are seriously IMAP based it would seem
like an ideal tool - if it works well!
