True - and because the documentation is good it's not hard to set up.  I 
collect from several email addresses for myself and my husband with 
fetchmail, then pass it to procmail for sorting and delivering.  Dovecot then 
runs the imap for both of us.

Another advantage to some people is its ability to handle both pop and imap.
