I am about to set up my own mail server to consolidate and hopefully ease my current email pains. I currently have 2 accounts that I check daily from 2 different machines(home and work) via POP. At work I have th option turned on in Outlook to not delete messages off the server, so all messages get delivered to my home machine, even the ones I've read and deleted at work. It sucks, I know.
So I've been thinking to myself, "Hey use linux to make your life easier!". And then I answered "Hey, good idea, although long overdue! We're getting slow in our old age,apparently". So here is the plan. And here is where we are looking for confirmation that we have all the parts that we need to figure out to get our mail 'situation' under control, along with the role we understand them to play. Fetchmail - Fetch my mail from my 2 accounts and deliver to local mail server Postfix - This would be the local mail server, just has to be there, eh? SpamAssassin - Killl all those stupid a#* messages that I am currently spending too much of my life deleting manually. ProcMail - Sort my two mail accounts into two different folders to keep them separate and all organized, etc. (Do I need this to organize?) Cyrus IMAP - No more POP clients!. Use IMAP to connect to mail server so that whn I delete an email, it is gone. For good. And I have consistent mail wherever I check it from! While I am at it, set up a webmail interface? Suggestions? So do I have a well laid out path, or am I a lost puppy?
