--Apple-Mail-1-736438357 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Hello list, I have to admit that, despite many years of experience using FreeBSD, I am completely lost. I've looked for all the how-to documents, and general documentation I can, and I don't find it a whole lot of help. Here's what I've got going, and what I hope to achieve. First off, I have a running sendmail server with qpopper. Sendmail is configured for authentication, and it all uses the system user/pass database. I don't currently have SSL/TLS installed, but I've done it before, and it's not a huge concern right now. What I need is a slightly different setup for my users. As I mentioned in an earlier email, I want to install an IMAP server. From what I've gleaned from various sources, I need to change from mbox format to maildir. Is this correct? Also, I've come to the understanding that IMAP uses a totally different internal MTA, and thus a different user database? Can someone point me in the right direction? I've kinda got courier-imap installed from ports, but I can't log in. First off, how can I configure courier-imap to use the system accounts? If I can get this, I can probably work through the SSL/TLS for IMAP, amongst other things. Does anyone have a similar setup they can share their experiences about?
