I haven't looked at dovecot.  Does it maintain a group of
listeners,
similar to apache's, to handle incoming requests as
courier-imap does?

So far we have had excellent performance with courier-imap
at sites with
about 10,000 mail clients hitting a single server (most of
whom are using
the POP interface as these are ISP sites).

you can set listening IP in config or *, not much more. if i
do understand 
your question. no such many options like apache.

mine has 500-1000 clients, but makes unnoticable load. looks
like both are 
OK.

anyway such feature (not in dovecot, but generally) is
strange thing for 
me.

it works fast with IMAP with Maildir folders having tens of
thousands of 
e-mails. don't ask me why i have such large folders, rather
ask my users 
 but
it works well that case.

The UW IMAP tool kit contains a number of scriptable command
lines  
tools for talking to imap servers.  Maybe something in there
will help.
