ipop3d is the POP daemon shipped alongside imapd - an IMAP daemon. Both
are shipped as part of UW-IMAP.

Both ipop3d and imapd do not support Maildir:
	http://www.washington.edu/imap/IMAP-FAQs/#1.31

You will need to install a new POP (and if you make use of IMAP, an IMAP
server. Courier is the usual one of choice for peeps that do not have 
qmail installed (which comes shipped with qmail-pop3d).

I've never come across Dovecot before, so have no opinion either way :-) 
But it looks like it's still under heavy development. The 'alpha3' label on 
the version tag gives that away. If you're looking to use something on a 
production server, then Courier would be the safer option (stability is 
good).

I'm going to keep an eye on Dovecot though. Cheers for the heads-up on that 
one. Looks like it might be a possible alternative :-)
