Hello, im all new to this but feel i want to have a dedicated server to handle my mails from Gmail and Hotmail

Basically, i installed SMS, superb Mini Server (based on slackware), and with that default install i got: dovecot, postfix, fetchmail and sendmail.

The postfix part seems to work according to a "telnet localhost 25", now i want to procede with dovecot, as i understand it, its the middle layer between (in my case) postfix and thunderbird.

What i expect in the very end is a dedicated server who regulary checks and fetches mails, and lets me have all contacts info in the (already up and running) LDAP server.

When i start thunderbird, i want it to go grab those mails from my local machine

I am, ofcourse all over manpages, HOWTOs, guides and google, but would certainly appriciate further help and points in the right direction

My apologises for any weird beginner mistakes in this post
