I seem to recall severe security (and other) problems with UW-IMAP, and the project is dead. We were forced to move to dovecot, and then redo the mailboxes. The end result was much faster (but there was a hardware upgrade too, so take this with a grain of salt).

Yeah, I remember that too, but I thought that was partly with RedHat/Fedora
not packaging updates anymore? I have the vague notion licencing issues were also involved, but am not certain. However, it appeared back in the main fedora repository. The upstream code seems to be maintained wrt minor bug fixing and security updates. No active development otherwise though.

In the end we just ditched it for the official dovecot package.
