Do you know if they are dropping the c-client library as well? That's part of uw-imap and used by, for example, php-imap.
No, c-client will be there. RHEL4 is very close in package list to Fedora Core 3. Many packages that need IMAP API use c-client library, so it will probably stay as separate component for a long time.
FC3 and RHEL4 include two IMAP servers, Dovecot and Cyrus. Dovecot seems to be the choice for small installations and/or novice admins that were using wu-imapd on older distributions. Basically it is drop-in replacement for uw-imapd. Cyrus is included for admins that need advanced IMAP server.
Anyhow, I hope that this inclusion will warrant new book. More people will probably try out Cyrus now that it comes neatly packaged with reasonable default configuration files. Plus, it seems that many people do not know that Dovecot is IMAP server ;-)
