    People,

    As an experiment I build squirrelmail on my laptop which is
    on my internal net.  I chose sendmail; but the ./configure
    section also required that I use IMAP.  Everything went well
    until I tried to login.  No joy.  I admit that I'm pretty
    clueless re POP3 or IMAP.  Can anybody help me?

    If I install  squirrelmail on my primary server would I be
    rid of IMAP? Or is there a better mail program with a web
    interface.

    thanks for a flashlight:-)

    PS:  I have evolution working on another internal server;
         if only it had vi for replies, Life would be perfect....

I recently went through setting up a FreeBSD 5.4 mail server using postfix for smtp w/sasl (and maildrop as the lda), courier for secure pop/imap, squirrelmail for webmail and dspam for spam filtering.

It took a few attempts to make dspam work properly, but I'm very pleased with the setup.

In regards to you questions, you will have to install an imap server to use squirrelmail. I prefer courier-imap because it's pretty easy to setup and the courier-authlib port lets me setup md5, ssl, etc. connections.

The only catch with courier-imap is that it will not read mail from mbox mailboxes (/var/spool/mail). You have to be using Maildir mailboxes, which I'm not sure sendmail will do natively. I know you can use Sendmail -> Procmail -> Maildir though.

Figure out which approach works best for you, and I can probably help you with the implementation.
