We are running IMP and whilst it has yet to be used in anger it seems to
do most things reasonably well. I suspect that the load it will place on
the server will be fairly high as it holds no state and so starts up and
tears down IMAP connections for every operation - mind you so
does Pegasus.
However, I haven't found it particularly hard to install and once you have
done it once you will find it quite easy to do; I have upgraded our
systems four times now with update releases and it takes me less than 15
minutes to do even with all of our local modifications.
