IMAP Questions.

[swestrup]

Has anyone on my friends list ever worked with imapd?  I ask because I'm very confused. The imapd documentation is non-existant. Nothing tells me how it works, and as far as I can tell, it has no config files. If this is true, how on earth do I tell it where the virtual mailboxes are that I'm creating with Postfix, and what the access passwords are?

Or, if the UW IMAPd really is so borked that it expects every person on a system that has mail to have a user account as well, does anyone know of an alternative IMAP server???

Addendum: Okay, it turns out that Courier-IMAP is a heck of a lot more reasonably set up that UW IMAP, and seems less finicky than Cyrus and more capable than Binc, so that's what I'm going with. Plus it turns out there's a howto for Postfix+Courier IMAP, so I guess that's the way I'm gonna go.

We use courier-imap at work.

Thanks. It does seem the best bet, so I'm going with it.
