No, c-client will be there.  RHEL4 is very close in package list to 
Fedora Core 3.  Many packages that need IMAP API use c-client library, 
so it will probably stay as separate component for a long time.

FC3 and RHEL4 include two IMAP servers, Dovecot and Cyrus.  Dovecot 
seems to be the choice for small installations and/or novice admins that 
were using wu-imapd on older distributions.  Basically it is drop-in 
replacement for uw-imapd.  Cyrus is included for admins that need 
advanced IMAP server.

Anyhow, I hope that this inclusion will warrant new book.  More people 
will probably try out Cyrus now that it comes neatly packaged with 
reasonable default configuration files.  Plus, it seems that many people 
do not know that Dovecot is IMAP server ;-)
