We're replacing our older servers, most of which are running EL3. The servers we want to handle POP/IMAP with are running EL5. EL4 and EL5 dropped support for the xinetd-based imap. Cyrus is way too complex, especially to tie in to the standard NIS passwd/shadow setup (as far as I can tell). We don'twant to set up another radius server (we can't use the existing radius server for reasons irrelevant to this discussion).
So I installed dovecot. It mostly works out of the box, but wants to force users to migrate where they keep their files. Most of our users like where their files are, or are at least use dto it, and don't want to have to learn new locations. Their mail folder roots have a variety of names. Dovecot is extremely configurable, but not in ways useful to us. What I *really* want is to just use the old imap server from xinetd, as it was compatible with how our users work. After quite a bit of searching, I found exactly one rpm site with uw-imapd but it had a dependancy for an rpm nobody seems to have for EL5. SO... does anyone have an EL5 RPM of the old imapd for xinetd, or can anyone definitively tell me that dovecot will search and use multiple folder root dirs and point me to docs that explain how to do this? [NOTE: I tend to just say EL because we have a mix of SL and CentOS.] Thanks, Miles
