I've used courier, dovecot, cyrus, wu-imap, mostly with postfix, but 
have also used cyrus with sendmail.

Personally I like courier with postfix the best. Courier seems to be 
easier to use, and less finicky than dovecot.

I'd only use Cyrus again if I needed the advanced features it supports, 
which I don't.
