My apologies, perhaps I am not quite up to date. I installed an LDAP
based Courier-IMAP mail server on a FreeBSD system some two
months ago and the only way it would build was to use the OpenLDAP
1.x libraries (as stated in the documentation at that time) - I did try to
use OpenLDAP 2 libraries just to see what happened - I cannot
remember the precise errors but it would not work.
And yes LDAP does replicate very well; I personally just prefer
MySQL - replication is not a big issue for us.
Regards
Courier-IMAP works fine with OpenLDAP 2.x, but you MUST
build it with the OpenLDAP 1.x libraries.
Why?

This is Debian package 'courier-ldap' and it is compiled with OpenLDAP 2.0
But IMO MySQL works better!
LDAP can replicate very nice.
