Hi. What imapd can you recommend for minimum configuration and maintenance (no Cyrus)? This is for a small shop, so no hard performance requirements.
If you want something easy - use dovecot. yum install it and it just works out of the box with very little config required. If you want something with a great feature set, excellent performance and near zero admin - try Cyrus-Imapd. And in relative terms its much much easier to setup than Courier, considering its just a straight yum install.
And for something slightly in-between, use dovecot, but tweak it and your mail delivery agent to use maildir format (procmail already knows how). You'll get better performance manipulating large inboxes that way.
