Re: [gentoo-user] IMAP server recommendations.
Hey gang... I was just looking for some opinions. I am replacing my current mail server. Right now I am using courier-imap and I am happy with it. The only thing that concerns me is that I have heard grumblings that courier has some security issues. I was just curious which IMAP server other people would recommend or perhaps if I am best off just sticking with what I know. My current setup is very simple. My only real requirements are SSL and maildir support. I connect using either Kmail or Thunderbird. Thanks, Josh Another dovecot suggestion here. Used by a few hundred users (all kinds of clients on all kinds of OS's) for about a year; flawless operation. (And it recently even reached the 1.0 version! Yay!:) ) -Roman -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I moved from Courier-imap to Cyrus following performance problems with larger folders and haven't regretted it since. Connecting to any imap (or imaps)-server should be simple as long as the client supports imap (or imaps) HTH, Joost -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I moved from Courier-imap to Cyrus following performance problems with larger folders and haven't regretted it since. Hm, it's not exactly maildir, though. It's kind of a derivate... But I agree: Cyrus is really capable. The newer versions of dovecot are rock-solid, so if it already fits the needs, I would go with dovecot. However, Cyrus has some really nice features, e.g. global folders, fully implemented ACLs, Sieve mail filters, numerous authentication methods... It really depends on what you're trying to offer. I was very happy w/ Cyrus, running a mail server for a work group of ~40 people. On another setup, running a mail server for a bunch of friends who don't need much of such functionality, Dovecot serves just fine. It's really much more lightweight. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

My only real requirements are SSL and maildir support. I connect using either Kmail or Thunderbird. We recently switched from courier-imap to dovecot (imaps only maildir support with Thunderbird and squirrelmail as mail clients). Peak load went from 10-12 to about 1 and response is much better especially on big folders. If your server is not heavily used, I suggest that you stick with what you know. Otherwise, you can give dovecot a try. -- Eray signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
