Re: courier-imapd, folders and delivery
I want to switch from POP3 to IMAP (finally). I cannot imagine why any enterprise would want to switch from POP3 to IMAP. They are designed to do completely different things. POP3 exists to get the email the heck off your server as quickly as possible, whereas IMAP is designed to keep the email on your server forever. Unless you chose the wrong protocol in the first place, why are you switching? Firstly, I'm not an enterprise :) Secondly, POP3 is easily chosen because it's more compatible in general. There are hardly any MUA:s out there that doesn't support it properly, while the same is not true for IMAP. I've switched to IMAP because it gives me more freedom to switch MUAs and access my mail from anywhere with an IMAP capable client. Wheather the mail is stored locally or on the server doesn't make much difference in my cast, except in so far as it affects availability. -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrival: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org PGP signature
Re: courier-imapd, folders and delivery
There is a courier-imap mailing list! Join it! Thanks! I found it yesterday - after having sent my question of course (it's the natural order of things). In the meantime, it's pretty simple. Set $MAILDIR and $DEFAULT to $HOME/Maildir/ Actually, my problem was that I wanted procmail or maildrop (maildrop in thsi case) to deliver to subfolders, and not just the Maildir (I phrased my question incorrectly). I've since discovered that courier doesn't use some magic format, but the sub folders where dot files (dot directories). I just didn't see them with an ls -l. Some times the hidden dot file approach works *too* well :) -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrival: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org

If you are using mysql, sybase or oracle, you need to edit the courier-imap code. In the authlib directory, find the vauth_getpw function call and add a vclose(); right after it. The reason why is, a courier-imap client causes a courier-imap process to run on the server. Unlike pop, the courier-imap server process stays active for the entire session. So if you have 200 people using imap, you'll have 200 courier-imap server processes running on your machine. Now the reason for the vclose() is that vpopmail API doesn't explicitly close the connection to the database. Once the vauth_getpw() function is run, courier-imap has all the information it ever needs from the database. At that point we need to call vclose() to close the database connection. If not, those 200 imap clients will cause 200 database connections to stay open. The vclose() call isn't needed if you are using the file based authentication module in vpopmail. Since the files are closed during each vpopmail api function call. Ken

Netscape Communicator's IMAP client also works, although until someone at Netscape figures out that there is no such thing as a negative message sequence number, checking for new mail and copying messages between folders may not work very well. Microsoft Outlook works more or less ok, but only because I relented and accomodated its bugs that made folder creation and deletion a rather annoying experience. http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/ * Very fast. I opened a folder with 700 msgs for the first time with no noticeable delay (on a reasonably fast box). * Supports /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and MD5 passwords. Supports PAM. Allegedly supports vchkpw (not tested). Supports userdb (basically a GDBM or DB based virtual mailbox database). PAM support basically means that any PAM module can be used for authentication. * Same userdb and maildir driver as maildrop (and sqwebmail). Courier-IMAP will see and access sqwebmail's folders. * Some anti script-kiddie measures - limit on max # of connections, limit on max # of connections from the same IP address. Artificial delays for bad passwords. What this means is that you no longer need to hack Pine into reading Maildirs. Just run the server on localhost, and tell Pine to use IMAP to localhost to read INBOX or file mail into folders. -- Sam
