Consider the type of mail format you wish. Courier uses Maildir format, Dovecot uses both mbox or Maildir format, etc... I am partial to a newer Maildir format type IMAPs server, binc at http://www.bincimap.org It is 1000s of lines of code lighter than the others, very fast, and works very well. I have it on 5 production boxes currently ... without problems. It is very easy to set up, and runs well on FreeBSD. -- Gary
