I just installed a Mandrake 8.2 server (have to use 8.2) and selected the mail and server options during install. Everything installed and I rebooted and checked in Mandrake Control Center and checked services and postfix installed, but I did not see imap installed. For my pop services, I am assuming I need imap installed, but I do not see any option to install it, nor during the initial install when I select individual packages I do not see imap listed. This server will send and receive e-mail and the clients will access via pop.
1) Do I need imap for pop services?
Run rpmdrake and choose imap in the search. And no, you don't NEED imap for pop, but it's nice to have if you're wanting to "share" mail.
2) How do I install imap if I need it? Remember I am a newbie here.
As above.
3) If imap is not needed what do I need to have pop services on the mandrake 8.2 system?
Just postfix or sendmail. I prefer sendmail but there'll be alot of banter on the list over this configuration; it's just I've come from a Redhat background and have used sendmail for years - and on top of that, most of the antivirus packages and antispam packages like sendmail...

Normally I agree with Stephen on all things mandrake.
but in this case I don't..
postfix is just an MTA, it can't do pop or imap.. The pop3 services is provided with the imap package. (it does both.)
so open a root terminal, and type: urpmi imap
and it will install them.
Then go to /etc/xinetd.d and look in there for the files pop3 and/or imap (depending on which you want.)
open the relevant file and make sure that its not disabled. then reload xinetd with: service xinetd reload
I do the same thing here, except I tunnel pop3 and imap over shh so I have only encrypted services.
