I'm planning on migrating 40 or so email accounts from a RedHat 9 / Sendmail server to a new Debian Sarge box. Of the three popular IMAP servers included in Sarge (Dovecot, Courier and Cyrus), which one have people had the best experiences with?
Data integrity is the main concern, more so than performance (which is also the reason I opted for putting the maildirs on an EXT3 volume rather than Reiserfs due to a lack of recovery tools for the latter). I've chosen Postfix as the MTA since it seems the most mature and secure than the alternatives.
Any suggestions from other experienced Debian administrators?This article can be found online at the Debian Administration website at the following bookmarkable URL (along with associated comments):
