Thanks but ... What is dovecot? And which host is it to be installed? Is it an MUA? An MTA? I want to pick up on my main computer the emails that were sent to root on my other Debian computers. I used fetchmail to do that on my mail computer and qpupper to make the other computer responsive to fetchmail's requests. How can I continue in that mode? When I started with Debian, emails were stored on one's home computer. They were temporarily held in transit on a computer at one's ISP. That is still the way I operate. I want to keep some of my emails. I use bogofilter to help delete spam after every email is received onto my home computer. It once was thought of as a very common way of doing email. I had not realized that it is so old that it is almost forgotten. The thing that makes this 'on topic' is that it is a problem brought on by a change in the offerings of the Debian repositories. What can be done to maintain a system that has worked for several years?
