[pfx] Re: How to configure minimal POP3/IMAP server with postfix?
On 2023-07-10 at 04:10:32 UTC-0400 (Mon, 10 Jul 2023 09:10:32 +0100) Chris Green via Postfix-users is rumored to have said: I run simple Postfix setups on a number of systems, these are all systems which only have a very few users, two or three at the most. I want to add IMAP/POP3 access to one of the systems (it's a VPS but that's probably irrelevant). This will again be for only two or three users. What's the simplest way to do this? I looked in the "Postfix Howtos and FAQs" page but there didn't seem to be any 'minimal' sort of setups there. They also seemed rather old. So, can I just install and configure Dovecot with Postifx delivering mail to /var/mail? Yes. You might find ~/Maildir more convenient in the long run, but you can do the traditional mbox in /var/mail/ thing. ... and is Dovecot the way to go? Yes. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire ___ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org

You need to install a pop/imap server to store and deliver mails. Dovecot is one of them. And it is somewhat easy to install and plug into postfix. ___ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
