Using it.  Loving it.  I'm running it in a cluster of 5 POP/IMAP servers
that each comfortably support about 1000-1200 user sessions during peak
usage time, for about 30,000 regular users.

Pros:

Supports both mbox and Maildir spool formats, easily interoperable with
almost any other mail system components you might want to use
(i.e. Sendmail, Postfix, or Exim for MTAs, procmail for delivery, etc.).

Fast: provides auxiliary indexing for folders so regular mail checks
don't have to rescan entire folders.

Easy to configure (friendly name=value type config file format, lots of
useful options).

Very solid and secure.

Cons:

I can't think of any.  I consider this to be the premier POP/IMAP server
out there these days.  It's so much better than any of the alternatives
I'm aware of.
