imapd replace courier-imap

I have working courier-imap systems and now:
pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core 24.3K 116.5K/s 00:00:00 [#####################] 100%
extra 312.6K 252.5K/s 00:00:01 [#####################] 100%
community 347.7K 263.5K/s 00:00:01 [#####################] 100%
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: imap: forcing upgrade to version 2007a-2

:: imap conflicts with courier-imap. Remove courier-imap? [Y/n] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: imap: conflicts with courier-imap

Must we really be forced to use imapd over courier-imap?

edit:
Some more input, On a test system I let it remove courier-imap and install imapd. One it failed to stop the daemon before removing. Perhaps that is why imapd would not start. Anyhow I killed the PID and still was not able to get "/etc/rc.d/imapd start" to work. I then pacman -R imapd and pacman -S courier-imap, now:
pacman -Syu
