Yes. They say it's better these days. Whether it's true I don't know.
I use dovecot.
For the record, this is what I use:
(setq rasmus/imap-method
`(nnimap "mail"
(nnimap-stream shell)
(nnimap-shell-program "MAIL=maildir:$HOME/mail /usr/lib/dovecot/imap")))
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnml "")) ;; good for offline
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods rasmus/imap-method)
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nntp "gmane"
(nntp-address "news.gmane.org")))
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nntp "gwene"
(nntp-address "news.gwene.org")))
In my dovecot.conf (v2+) I have the following; I don't know if it's
important.
mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs
passdb {driver = pam}
ssl = no
userdb {driver = passwd}
