I used to use Courier-IMAP because I thought it was a great ideal to  
have something that followed a standard so closely. But, Courier was  
slow. It was a pain to install and worse to upgrade. And while it's  
author was usually correct, his rigid motto of "supporting  
incompetence just breeds more incompetence" wasn't very helpful when  
my server was the only one that my IMAP clients wouldn't work with.
