with.

There's really very little difference. Dovecot is supposedly a little
faster, but if you reached the point where that becomes an issue you
need to look at cyrus anyway.

Haven't done Dovecot on Debian (do it all the time on RHEL tho). For
Courier, just apt-get install courier-imap (I think that's the package
name). There's nothing to configure unless you want to use virtual
users/domains and/or ldap/mysq. Plenty of good documentation about that
on the web.
