Ignore the pop3 server provided with courier imap. It just confuses things!
It will install it, but just dont change your tcpserver startup file (or
inetd if your that way inclined)
I found IMP very over complex. According to the site SM doesn't support
virtual domains too well, but I fiddled around with the development release
(1.1.2) and got them working perfectly. It took a bit of messing with the
user's prefs files to get it working perfect. I am currently working on a
script that sets up SM ready for the user to log in and send mail straight
away.
Like Bill said, it has some excellent plugins that make it very powerful.
On a side note, don't be swayed by apperences. sqwebmail looks ugly "out of
the box", but its all template driven, so you can completely change the way
it looks with a bit of HTML hacking.
But, agreed, SM looks much nicer out of the box.
