Dovecot has a couple of advantages, one of them being not insisting that all
folders hang under INBOX, or start with a dot.

Though they *can* do - but 'INBOX.Trash' always struck me as a bit anachronistic.

;-)

It also has a fair following here, so is a road well-traveled w/r Exim+Dovecot
integration.

Cyrus has a longer history, but, JMHO, is a bit of an odd-man-out w/r
integration. Different string handling, special character handling, et al than
some parts of Exim.

But plenty of docs, examples, and expertise.

RedHat *expects* 'performance issues'?

Refreshing change, but I am otherwise not going to go there.
