Any suggestions > on the "preferred" IMAP server? I've begun migrating all my machines from pretty much vanilla UW-IMAP (with the built in pop3d) over to Dovecot with Maildir delivery. I've used UW for over 10 years on my mail servers, but I'm starting to get away from standard mbox format. I like the benefits of Maildir for my specific needs, and it's much safer over NFS, which is what I'm also starting to use for some servers. Dovecot was a very simple install from source, and I had it up and running with Maildir support, SASL smtp auth, and both pop3 and imap in about 10 minutes after compiation. I use Postfix for my MTA, but it should work with Sendmail or whatever. I played with Courier a little bit, didn't really like it, and Cyrus was way too much for my needs at the time, and I'm not really looking to try it again. Good luck. > > -- > Michael W.
