IMAP Components
H-Sphere IMAP Server is represented with two components:
- courier-imap
- courier-authlib
Courier-IMAP is a standalone IMAP server that
can be used with H-Sphere Qmail server to provide IMAP access to Maildirs.
Since H-Sphere 2.4 Patch 4, Courier-IMAP is included into H-Sphere mail
system by default.

Adding Servers document.
