Hi Mark

I've changed two mailservers with each around 600 mailboxes from Courier to Dovecot. Not of performance reasons (the two mail systems are imho almost equivalent in performance) but for configuration reasons.
You've way less to configure on Dovecot than on Courier.

I'm using following config now: Postfix+Dovecot+Roundcube and it works like a charm.

At the end it is your decisions but for the one I took it was a good one.

Regards,
Claudio

Hey all,

I know this isn't strictly related to RC only, however I was wondering if
I could get some feedback from anyone who has converted from using
something like Courier to Dovecot and how you have found the performance
differences etc.

I am currently running Exim+Courier+RC and things work well and fast,
however the userbase using the system may be increasing by a very large
amount shortly and I have been looking into methods to increase/sustain
performance.  I have seen a few people mention Dovecot and that RC has been
written specifically with it in mind, however I want to make sure its worth
it before I go and start messing with a system that is working well (at
present).

I have also been looking at IMAPProxy - Does anyone use this with RC? (and
Dovecot ?)  Any issues or things I should be aware of?


Thanks in advance!
