Hi,
just wanted to say that in my setup dovecot is visibly faster than
courier-imap. (I'm using dovecot-1.1.rc9)
I'm running courier on port 143 and dovecot on 10143 and I've been
changing the port in roundcube webmail config
to see which is faster and dovecot really is.
It is also faster to deploy. No need for things like courier-authlib and
it's loong ./configure times.
I'd wish for some startup scripts bundled in but it's easy to google for
them.
All this is a result of courier-imap developer dropping support for
vchkpw module. I guess I'll be divorcing courier soon.
Note, the debian/ubuntu dovecot packages do not have vpopmail support
compiled in. Use the source.
Cheers!
Maciej
