Cone is Sam Varshavchik's Pine-a-like, a good match for Courier environments since it comes from the same project.

Along the lines of dlang's comment, here we started with UW-IMAP until it couldn't handle the load, and then switched to Courier IMAP until it couldn't handle the load either, and are now switching to Cyrus. So you can perhaps skip a step. :-)
Cyrus IMAPd

As others have noted, it might be easier and nicer to skip to Cyrus IMAPd if you're changing mail servers. It's extremely fast even for full-text mailbox searches ("man squatter" for fulltext indexes used on server-side SEARCH commands) and very stable. It's also in steady development, and quite remarkably flexible.
You'll have a hard time getting your head around the authentication configuration at first, but it's not really that bad and it's well and truly worth it for such an amazing mail server.
If I had to go back to using an ISP's mail services instead of runing my own mail server, I'd just fetchmail to a local Cyrus - I'm spoilt by it now ;-)
