But, at present, we need to have a secure / reliable / fast with all the properties that must fit a real e-mail server in order to support our new e-mail IMAP architecture, so the question is (because we have only 2 options) Why should I choose dovecot instead of Cyrus ?
Because it is secure / reliable / faster than cyrus - and *much* easier to install/configure?
You'll have more chance of a specific answer if you provide more specifics as to what 'properties that must fit a real email server' means to you.
So here is my next environment :
how many mailbox ? 5000
how many users ? 6000
what is in use now ? Cyrus
what kind of access ? IMAP(s), POP3(s), webmail
how many server ? 2 (how to configure this with dovecot ? hearthbeat ? is it better with 1 big hardware ? )
Database user ? LDAP
Mail DB ? Cyrus maildir
Capability ? Sieve / Quota
High Performance without hacking conf files !
