Anyway... if you wanted to play w/it for free, maybe stick it in a VM, thought I'd mention it. Though, FWIW, I think I'm sticking with dovecot for the foreseeable future...
why on this list..?? doesn't work on Linux, right??
AFAIK, linux has no problem running 'VM's... or weren't you aware of that?
Oh? I think that VMs have peaked. The VM concept and with it the VDI model are bloated compared to Docker/

The distinction is very simple: running VMs duplicates the OS partion. Now this is useful in a lot of contexts, such as, as Linda points out, running Windows under Linux, or testing out new releases of an OS.
Docker is a winner and so are some other new technologies with similar shared kernel features. For good or for bad, the only practical way I know to use them is with Linux as the hypervisor (or whatever they call it with Docker, etc.) and the container). So while I love the Docker concept a lot of companies will stick to VMs becuase they can more readily run Windows as the guests.
