Is UW-IMAP well known for knackering systems? Should I be worried about using 
it? I use it here at work for the company but there are only about 30 users 
on it so it doesn't work that hard. This is not the first time someone has 
mentioned it on this list in the past few months so there must be something 
in it.

PS. I googled this topic for the minimum 30 seconds stipulated by the 
Damerell-Google threshold before wasting everybody's time posting this to the 
list and exhibiting my cluelessness. See previous pointless trolling/flaming.
