On fedora core 2 (and many other distibutions), dovecot is the imap and 
pop server. It runs as a standalone daemon. On my fc2 machine, dovecot 
is installed by the dovecot-0.99.10.5-0.FC2 package.

I've found I like dovecot alot. It isn't over-burdoned with 
functionality I don't need, but it was easy to set up stuff like imap 
over ssl with it.
