What about dovecot? Dovecot gets good reviews. Cyrus seems to work for me just fine. It seems bullit proof. See 6.4 on this page: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Cyrus-IMAP.html 6.4 Adding the default user I went from UoW IMAP to dovecot -- unlike Cyrus, it didn't require I reformat my email boxes (all in unix 'mbox format', as they all started as Unix-mbox's)... into it's custom format. And Dovecot is very fast....

mbox is fast? I don't believe that for a second. I doubt Dovecot uses mbox; it probably converted the mail to maildir or UoW was already using maildir. mbox is a broken and obsolete mailbox format; and very slow.

Back in 1998, jwz answered know-it-alls like you: http://www.jwz.org/doc/mailsum.html And, he knows a bit more about email than you, I'm quite sure. Or, maybe, just, *did* you write an MUA used by millions of people sometimes in the last two decades and I just don't recognize your name?
