I only moved away within the last 6 months I think.... still use it on one of |
| 5 |
my servers. |

I know it does keep a cache in the mailbox, but my understanding is it's not |
| 8 |
where near as sophisticated as Cyrus - but I'll accept I could well be wrong. |

Also, does courier provide a sieve server? or even support server side |
| 11 |
filtering of mail? |

My requirements in my more advanced mail setup wrote of nearly all but Cyrus |
| 14 |
IMAP server, so I know more about cyrus. |

Looking at http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/features.html , there is no mention |
| 17 |
of ACLs, but there is now shared folders I see. Digging briefly into the docs |
| 18 |
it does support IDLE. |

Here's a interesting quote though aobut courier and it's Maildir format. |

"I have 500 MB of archived mail, with several folders with 15,000+ messages in |
| 23 |
them. Trying to get this to work on a dual-AthlonMP 2200+ system with 2 GB of |
| 24 |
RAM was not a lot of fun using Courier-IMAP and Maildir. It would take |
| 25 |
upwards of 30 seconds to load a message index, and it could take even longer |
| 26 |
to do operations on multiple messages." |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
"I installed Cyrus-IMAP on this same server, copied my messages over from one |
| 29 |
setup to the other (using Kontact no less), and haven't had any problems |
| 30 |
since. Folder indexing and access is in the sub 5 second range on my largest |
| 31 |
folders (just under 20,000 messages to date), and doing operations on |
| 32 |
multiple messages takes no time at all." |
