At first I was planning on sticking to trusted Cyrus. Cyrus is the only 
IMAP server I know which has a full PHP library to admin the thing. I 
was planning on writing a plugin for LAM myself but lack of time did 
hold me back. I was also thinking about the desirability of writing a 
specific Cyrus plugin. A generic plugin for IMAP servers based on 
calling external shellscripts which can be adapted per flavor of 
IMAP-server did sound too as an option.

So, Dovecot does support LDAP. Thanks mr. Melnik for providing a 
dovecot-ldap.conf. But will this work with the schema used by samba/lam 
? Or will I need another schema and if so which?
How and where do you store your mailboxes?

Thanks in advance,
Olaf
