I think there was mention of Cyrus and Dovecot in the wiki but I can't
be bothered to look it up right now.

Also with these requirements (IMAP ACLs, Sieve support) I guess only
Cyrus will play (Dovecot might partially work, with the
http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL and http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve
plugins), but I can't be sure since the Courier page only has this on
supported features (the courier wiki is even worse):

"* Courier-IMAP implements many popular IMAP protocol extensions that
provide value-added functionality with most popular IMAP clients. "

So pick the one which has the features you need, in the colour you
like.

cheers,
