well, the opportune time to switch is probably when you are starting to
set up a new mail server.
Dovecot is mostly featureless POP3/IMAP
Come on. is it holy war time again? should I shoot over cyrus software
now or should we keep this list clean? If you like cryus software, I am
happy for you. If you've done a an serious/objective comparative study,
put it a on a web page (and ask for comments). Debating this here is not
constructive nor fair.

why is it not constructive?
because expereience shows that such debates should be conducted offlist,
quietly and with arguments. Otherwise, proponents of each side jump on
the wagon at every opportunity to reply to what they feel is an attack
against their "baby". you know the story, so I won't annoy you by
repeating it.
anyway, for it to be constructive, it should start on the right track.
calling dovecot featureless and listing features that are actually
supported by dovecot isn't a good start :)
----
probably not, but it seemed fair once I got into cyrus-imapd and saw all
of the bonus options that I never had in uw-imapd. I suppose that
dovecot has virtual user features (without maildir)
with and without. dovecot supports multiple mailbox formats.
and LDAP support and
you could probably shell script some of the other stuff to get around
the lack of built-in support.
It supports sieve, quota, spam filtering, ... dovecot has a plugin
mechanism which helps provide additionnal functionality if needed.
----
Aren't dovecot and cyrus-imapd the only
pop3/imap servers bundled with CentOS? Would not users of CentOS benefit
from the discussion?
courier is another choice.
----
courier isn't included in upstream or CentOS
I have no idea why...
anyway, if you have a "development server", it's not a problem. see
http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-courier-imap-courier-authlib-maildrop-fedora-redhat-centos
for example.
