ITYM the server should /receive/ mails for your domain from both the in- and outside and you want to be able to /get/ those mails via IMAP. Of course you also want to be able to /send/ mails to the big bad internet from inside via the server. >I tried to do "apt-get install courier-imap". Everything worked fine.

A "ps ax | grep imapd" showed nothing, but >/usr/sbin/imapd did not changed this status as well.

First of all you should know how many users you´ll have on the box, if it´s just for a handful of trusted people you can take the easy way, make some local accounts and aliases, et voila. If it´s for some company with tens or hundreds of lusers you should take a more cautios route with no local accounts et al (eg cyrus). The easy way lies in /etc/imapd.conf and /etc/inetd.conf, for the more secure approach email me off-list, I might do some FAQ then. >Thanks a lot, >Martin (who wants his email-adress back)... @blackbox.at ISTR ;-?
