good practice, but not general enough
The big limitation here is that this book concentrates on a couple of open-source packages, so lots of time is spent detailing their intricacies. I would think that a more general book on IMAP4 protocol would be helpful.
But there are good examples of CGI scripts that monitor and manage mail servers, for instance, that can be adapted by the creative sysadmin to many other purposes. I also wish that there was a CD-ROM disc, or website with the source code. Typing in code from a book is a drag. The good thing is that you can modify it and make it your own as you type it in.

Does not cover the prerequisites
If you are looking to find out about the IMAP protocol - This book is very good, I bought it to help me install the Cyrus imap server. The book covers the installation of cyrus but it does not cover the prerequisites. I found the hardest part of setting up the Cyrus server was dealing with the software prerequisites, i.e. tcl and cyrus sasl. If you are interested in learning about the IMAP protocol, this is the book, if you are interested in setting up Cyrus - save your money.

IMAP is the future of Internet e-mail access...
Anyone can set up a POP3 server. Setting up an IMAP server is rather more difficult, especially if you want it to scale to handle more than just a few thousand users.If you are administering "modern" Internet e-mail servers, then this book is a vital component of your bookshelf.
