[LUG] Mail server recommendations?

 

I'm mulling a few things over at the moment and one of them is perhaps 
installing an imap server that is on 24/7 and configured to collect mail from 
all my accounts (about 5 or so i think) and then allows me to get them from 
there.

This would get round the shortfalls in my domain host's email offerings such 
as no imap and limits on quantity and size of emails, also it appears it 
doesn't properly support unique message ID's on pop3, which could be the 
route of some of my issues with KMail.

Anyway, anyone have any particular suggestions on the good, the bad, etc. 
Doing a search in my portage tree immediately shows me these offerings:

vimap
uw-imap
cyrus-imapd (also has admin tools so maybe a good choice?)
courier-imap
bincimap

Obviously that's without going off to the net and picking ones at random to 
investigate...

Suggestions welcomed.

Thanks,
Martin.
