As I understand it, many OSs (including most Linux distributions) already
come with some form of imapd.
NB: Until a few months ago, imapd had a a pretty bad secutiry hole -- one
of those buffer-overrun things, I believe -- that would allow an attacker
root access. While that is now fixed, I have noted some (unsuccessfull)
attempts on my site by spammers now trying to use imap to obtain lists of
email addresses. Be aware...
