Well said, Dan.

I replied directly to Liyun yesterday.  My answer is copied below just in
case anyone else on the list can benefit or feels like starting a
discussion.

Liyun,

I whole-heartedly recommend the Cyrus imap server.  250 users should be
very do-able on a generic linux box or an older Sun (I have almost 400
accounts on a Sun Enterprise 250).  Just make sure you have 2+ GB of RAM
and, if possible, raid 1 for your spool disks.

Best, Stephen
