The apple iCloud mail servers use the PMDF based mail server (which was 
taken over by Sun
and then Oracle). That’s why I prefer to use apple mail for my email 
service.
(Full disclosure: I used to work on that email server along with some 
giants in the
email space like Ned Freed, hence my greater trust in it).
