I want to add an IMAP server but I don't want to disrupt Qpopper.
Can I set up Dovecot IMAP/POP3 without using its POP3?
Or would I have to use a different IMAP server? Any recommendations?
Many people run Qpopper with an IMAP server. If you choose UW's IMAP
server, there are options you can set in Qpopper to ignore the
special state messages that UW IMAP puts in the mail box.
As long as the IMAP server, Qpopper, and the local delivery agent all
lock the mail spool, it should be fine. You always have the issue
that the local delivery agent needs to lock the mail spool in a way
noticed by the mail access server (e.g., Qpopper), and most of the
time it works fine out-of-the-box. So, it's the same when running
two mail access servers.
