I'd also recommend Courier as being very easy to install (especially on 
Debian!).  UW-IMAP is also easy to install, but I prefer Courier because 
Courier uses maildirs, and because folders can contain both messages and 
other folders.  Also, I'm not sure how well UW supports virtual users.

Cyrus has a great reputation, but it's not as easy to install.

A project I've been keeping my eye on is Dovecot. It's relatively new 
(hasn't reached 1.0 yet), but it sounds great, especially for those of 
us who keep a lot of messages in a folder (I often have more than 30,000 
messages in a folder). It was written by the same person who wrote 
irssi.
