We have been using courier-imap (pop3 included) for about 50,000  
users, works fine except you have to set the client to use INBOX.  
namespace.  We just started testing IMAP-Proxy which is built in as  
well.  This allows you to have multiple imap/pop3 servers look like  
just one from the user perspective.
