Hi, I find myself needing to implement IMAP on FreeBSD. Any suggestions on the "preferred" IMAP server? It appears that we have three "main" IMAP daemons in ports: imap-wu, cyrus-imapd, and courier-imap. I need to pick one. My mail system uses Sendmail+sasl2 and milter-greylist. I want to stick as close to a "stock" FreeBSD as possible, so I'm not into reading users from LDAP or anything like that. It seems that imap-wu lets you synch up to /var/mail/username, but only that. Courier uses maildir, which means installing procmail and having a .procmailrc for every account. It appears that cyrus-imap23 uses its own delivery agent to build a maildir-like structure. Does this pretty much summarize my choices, or are there other things I should be aware of before implementing any of these on FreeBSD? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.
