But what should I use for secure IMAP? I went through this a few years ago, and settled on Qmail. Easy to set up, as secure as these things get. Then I found Matt Simerson's FreeBSD Mail Toaster scripts, which make installing and configuring everything ridiculously easy. http://www.thenetworkpeople.biz/internet/mail/toaster/ It installs Qmail and Courier (reg and ssl), Vpopmail, Qmailadmin, various webmail interfaces, Spamassassin, and ClamAV. Pretty much all you're ever gonna need. HTH, Rafi
