I use Courier IMAP (2.2.2) and maildrop (1.6.3, LDAP-based) too, and in
contrast to those who've experienced Evo hangs with Cyrus, Evo 1.4.5
never, ever hangs with Courier 2.2, even under extreme load, many
clients of different types active on the IMAP server. Earlier combos of
Evo/Courier did hang. 

The downside is, that Evo doesn't recognize Courier fs-based shared
folders, whereas most other clients do.
