It might be easier to set up Dovecot on Gentoo than Courier on Solaris. |

I have been using courier for years, but when I needed to deploy at a |
| 15 |
site, authenticating via Samba, I used Dovecot. I think this was |
| 16 |
necessary because Dovecot supported PAM modules in a way that Courier |
| 17 |
did not. |

At one point a problem I asked for help with on the Dovecot mailing- |
| 20 |
list proved to be a bug and was fixed by the developer within 36 hours |
| 21 |
of me experiencing it. |

I have the impression that Dovecot is lightweight, fast and secure. It |
| 24 |
will be my first choice of IMAP server in the future, and I'll be |
| 25 |
replacing my Courier installation here with Dovecot just as soon as I |
| 26 |
get time. |
