I would recommend courier-imap / courier-pop3d / courier-imaps / 
courier-pop3ds

Dovecot is fine for small networks I find (use at home network), however 
for large loads (and in a multi-user environment, where quality is 
important) would use courier, note, courier dirs not compatible with 
dovecot (went to change to see ... and was unable, but after further 
testing decided against it anyway).

I would advise IMAP over pop....much nicer :)
Although if on slow connections, pop can be handy
