I'd concur with Señor Carnes.  I get cyrus-imap RPMs from 
http://home.teleport.ch/simix/.  All they need is a rebuild for RHL 9.  
Cyrus Imap includes support for quotas, and has good support for SSL and 
TLS.  It's fairly complex to set up if you're new to mail, but has good 
tools to help with migration &c.  If you want cyrus support directly in 
your distro, go with Debian or Gentoo.  I also needed postfix RPMs from 
http://tis.foobar.fi/software (he also has rpms for Courier) to fix a 
crash with SMTP Authentication.  One thing I'd highly suggest if going 
the cyrus/postfix route is to look into using sasldb or ldap for user 
management.  This is not easy, but there are good howtos on the web.

I have several more, but these are the main ones.
