I too thought that their mail server is probably not particularly good,
given the fact that no one seems to be using it as against Cyrus or
Dovecot. But I thought their client libraries may be useful (provided you
can live with them being GPL not even LGPL). But I guess your experiences
will make me think twice before exploring their stuff further.
