I was terrible fed up with Apple Mail when used with Courier IMAP server. Independently of any bug in Courier, Apple Mail worked well in 10.3.9 but not as good in 10.4.x. This was my biggest complaint. Now I'm using a Dovecot server and not having major problems. Apple Mail still freezes, still shows the wrong new message count near the folders, still corrupts the cache every six month and other bad issues, but it's a lot less bad than before. If I would give a score to Apple Mail, I would give a 8 to Panther's Mail, a 4 to 10.4.0/1's Mail, and a 7 to the latest 10.4.2 version. Hello.
