I find thunderbird to be my favorite email program, but unfortunately I have already set up good spam filters through postfix/procmail/fetchmail and I wish to keep that. I read that some have set up IMAP servers so thunderbird can access it. Is that possible?
Of course.
How can I set up a very simple IMAP (which ones? dovecot? cyrus? courier?) server? Could someone help or point me to documents that tells me how to set it up (a standalone IMAP server with no connection to outside internet, just on my box?
Consider the type of mail format you wish. Courier uses Maildir format, Dovecot uses both mbox or Maildir format, etc...
I am partial to a newer Maildir format type IMAPs server, binc at
http://www.bincimap.org
It is 1000s of lines of code lighter than the others, very fast, and works very well. I have it on 5 production boxes currently ... without problems. It is very easy to set up, and runs well on FreeBSD.
