Hi everybody,
I'm planning to set up our new mail system using the Dovecot mailbox
server. It mostly works fine yet (it's quite straigt forward to set up,
I'd say), but there's a thing I haven't been able to find out yet. We
provide POP3 access for all users, but want to restrict IMAP access to
some of them (because IMAP users tend to leave more messages on the
server, thus increasing storage needs).
[snip]
1 - storage is cheap - Costco sells a 1 TByte external drive for approx
$US 300. That holds a LOT of e-mail. The 500 GByte is less than half
that price.
2 - why not enforce quotas? I assume you could set quotas by user.
POP users could opt to keep a copy on the server, so that doesn't
guarantee anything.
I prefer IMAP because then I can access the same mail from different
clients computers...
