sounds like everyone is sold on dovecot.  Great!.  I've a few questions.  I
went and looked it up on freshports.org and found the main web site.  Can
anyone explain to me what problems they have with mail clients attaching?
See http://wiki.dovecot.org/Clients .  This shows some interesting problems
and I'd like to know if everyone using dovecot sees these problems.

Second, how do programs like dovecot manage users?  Does each user of the
e-mail system need to be a user of the FreeBSD system (installed locally)?

Thanks,
Andy
