why not cyrus? its stable and reliable, ok, perhaps a little bit overkill...
Because, like I said in the quoted text, I can't figure out how to configure it.
Cyrus HOWTO:

Cyrus is not as hard to configure as it might look. The part that you most likely missed is that you needed to create mailbox manually using Cyrus admin commands. Also, you can't use procmail as delivery agent anymore, you need to use different MAILER definition in sendmail.mc. Mail will not go to /var/spool/mail, but rather to /var/spool/imap. The advantage of this is that *all* your folers will be in /var/spool/imap (in /var/spool/mail, only your INBOX folder is stored there, everything else must be somewhere in your home directory).
For small home install, Cyrus is probably overkill (as Roger stated). But it is always nice to learn something new ;-)
