I believe it was written from scratch, principal author is Timo
Sirainen, tss at iki.fi, info here:

http://dovecot.org

We (Red Hat) were looking for a replacement for UW-IMAP and beginning
about a year ago began shipping both Dovecot and Cyrus as potential
replacements for UW-IMAP. Dovecot is equivalent in ease of use
(configuration) as UW-IMAP and has a focus on security (think of it as
postfix's response to sendmail). Cyrus fills the need for an industrial
strength IMAP server in large organizations.
