There's Courier IMAP, but the folders it creates are MH mailboxes (ie files & directories) instead of UNIX-mailfolders (ie one file containing several emails). > 2) how to make imap-uw more verbose ? > > 3) how to run imap-uw without inetd ? > > 4) do I really need an "mbox" driver ? > (I permanently see "moved XXX bytes from mbox..." and > "moved XXX bytes to mbox...") The "mbox driver" allows imap-uw to recognise UNIX mailboxes which live in /var/mail. The "moved ... from mbox" is some weird imap-uw `feature' that will move mail from /var/mail to ~/mbox *if* it sees a ~/mbox. If you don't want this, all you have to do is to move all the mail from ~/mbox to /var/mail/user. ie: 1. make sure imapd is stopped 2. make sure /var/mail/user is 0 bytes 3. mv ~/mbox /var/mail/user At which point when imap-uw starts up again, it will use /var/mail/user as the INBOX and won't attempt to move mail out of it. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't worry about avoiding temptation, as you grow older, it starts avoiding you.
