i could use some good arguments for dovecot, also your experiences with it and with other mailservers so i can make a reasonable desicion and preset some good arguments :-)

Dovecot made it incredibly easy for me to start offering imap to a few users without changing anything for the pop3 users (about 100 users) and without converting from mbox. The push to offer imap was the need to install Squirrelmail to offer webmail for select users.

I removed qpopper, installed dovecot, and everything just worked. I was done in about 2 hours, thanks to the sensible defaults in dovecot.conf, and the FreeBSD ports system.
