Please set up a system using that plugin and make sure it does everything 
you need it to.  I had multiple problems with specific features not being 
available, plus no timsieved, which then begs the problem of - how will 
your users manage sieve instructions.  I finally mangled a squirrelmail 
plugin to use local disk for storage instead of talking to timseived and 
ripped out all the incompatible bits - it wasn't pretty.

I don't want to discourage you :-) but before you get too far committed, 
make sure that your needs are met.

Good luck :-).
