Dovecot looks cool.  I chatted online with some people who like it.  I 
am against it for one reason: Shared Folders.   There have been rumors 
of working that out, but it is not supported yet.  Cyrus, however 
complex with authentication setup, has Shared Folders, Access Control 
Lists, and Sieve.   procmail is (of course) much more capable than 
sieve, but sieve is a decent tool.

I recently had to rebuild the entire cyrus database for a site.  We had 
corruption on two out of 3 drives in a RAID5.  [oops?].  The only bad 
blocks were in the Cyrus database.   I managed to recreate the mailbox 
database, and then cyrus reconstructed the mailboxes with the messages 
that were in the imap spool, and it was slick.
