ftpd- proftpd (i absolutely love this ftp server, as its built with security in mind, has chroot environments, and its configuration is modeled after apache's. there are so many directives....excellent choice for a decent server.
mta- sendmail is ok, but i prefer exim.
pop3/imap: i prefer to use imap, as it leaves the files on the server. pop3 though is ok if you have a lot of users/email/.
for imap, i use courier.
this is really just a preference sort of thing.....different strokes for different folks and all that.

undohash
dohash(8) System Manager's Manual dohash(8)
NAME
dohash, undohash - Hashes or unhashes IMAP configuration directories
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/dohash [-f] [-h] [-i]
/usr/sbin/undohash
OPTIONS
The following options are available only for the dohash command: Forces the hashing process to continue even if the command encounters
errors. Prints a usage message for the command. Runs the hashing process interactively.
DESCRIPTION
The dohash command converts the IMAP configuration directories from the format for older versions of the Cyrus IMAP4 Revision 1 server to
the new format for Version 1.6.1 or higher.
Starting with Version 1.6.1 of the server, the IMAP user files in the quota and user directories are stored in a through z subdirectories,
sorted by the first character of each user name. This arrangement reduces the number of entries in a given directory and consequently
increases performance and scalability. The dohash command creates the a through z subdirectories and sorts the existing IMAP files as
described; the undohash command reverses this process, in case you need to revert to a previous version of the server.
You can optionally sort the users' directories in the IMAP mail spool in the same manner if you enable the hashimapspool option in the
/etc/imapd.conf file before invoking the dohash command. See imapd.conf(4) for more information.
Note that you must be logged in as the imap user to use the dohash command; otherwise, the newly-created subdirectories will not have the
proper ownership.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows output from the dohash command: # /usr/sbin/dohash configuration directory /var/imap... hashing user directory
hashing quota directory done hashing
In this example, the configuration directory is /var/imap; therefore, you could check that the dohash command has successfully hashed the
directories by using the ls command as follows: # ls /var/imap/quota /var/imap/user /var/imap/quota: a b c d e f g h i j k l m
n o p q r s t u v w x y z
/var/imap/user: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
The slash () indicates line continuation.
FILES
Configuration file for the IMAP server. Specifies the location of the IMAP configuration directory.
