Hi all,

i finally got Courier IMAP running with XMail - more or less flawlessly...
Basically the XMail Maildirs are co-maintained my Courier too now, but
I see some drawbacks with this setup. If someone has a solution/remedy for
the points pls. mail them to the list. This should NOT be treated as 
criticism or a bug list of XMail in any way, it's just my approach to ease 
the implementation of IMAP with XMail. (Some of the issues may be solved 
using root for accessing the IMAP boxes with Courier which is undesireable 
in most cases)


1) Inconsistent UserDB
   XMail itself only uses it's own userbase, not being able to share with 
one of
   Couriers authentication modules. Thus I have to admin a 2nd userbase and
   manually have to keep it up-to-date on every change (new/deleted users).
   An option to authenticate against the XMail UserDB would be a solution 
here,
   unfortunately I don't know of any.

2) Unreachable Maildir by default
   As i do all XMail administration via CTRL I have to manually correct
   permissions beginning from the domains/ directory upwards to the Maildir 
and
   it's subdirs for each user as XMail creates the directories with 700 
owned by
   root:root. This is also an undesired task as Courier cannot access the
   directories by default.

I'm currently into testing the setup in real-life... If I encounter some 
further things I'll let you know...
