    You seem to be implying that courier-imap requires user accounts in
    /etc/passwd, but that's not the case--as evidenced by the (very
    simple) postfix+courier-imap installation here.

    Plus, you get to avoid that SASL thhhhing (but not if you need SMTP
    auth in Postfix, in which case you could go for Cyrus just as well).

    Courier-IMAP has one disadvantage, though: it's GPL'd (Cyrus-IMAP is
    BSDL'd).
