Actualy, it seems courier-imap and courier-pop pull in a few extra support
packages including some sort of authentication daemon and it's own inet
daemon. I haven't set it all up yet, but I feel a bit nervous about
installing fragments of a larger application that replicate functionality of
packages I already have installed. I'm particularly disturbed by extra
daemons.
I would have abandoned courier when I discovered this, except that
courier+support packages still works out smaller than
(uw-imapd|ipopd)-ssl+support packages. I might still abandon it though if
the setup looks too complex/overkill for my application.
