I had planned to first test basic mailing = from web apps with mail going to local system users, and use mutt to see = mail in local Maildir/ mailboxes. After seeing it work, I then want to = provide imap/pop3 access to mail. Finally, switch to virtual or = non-system-users (to avoid need to create system users). =20 I installed postfix-2.11.1_4,1 as a pkg and just noticed "pkg info = postfix" reports DOVECOT and OPENLDAP options are off. Do I need these = in my scenarios? I didn't put a ports tree on this system to see if it = was possible to build a system from packages only, but am also not = averse to recognizing it was pipe dream (and remember how to use = portmaster again). Is there anything special needed in Dovecot? Fwiw, I'm also finding I can demo workflows with emails much faster = using Mutt (and multiple terminal sessions), than could be done demoing = with Outlook and mousing/clicking around.=20 Regards, Dale
