Q1. The UW IMAP Server supports "pre-authenticated connections" --
does Dovecot?
dovecot --exec-mail imap
Excellent! I hadn't found that command line option yet: thank you.
In case anyone else is wanting pre-authenticated connections Googling
dovecot.org for "--exec-mail" has now led me to this helpful page on
converting from UW IMAP:
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-January/010968.html
Q2. The UW IMAP Server can issue "IMAP Alerts"
http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting
Hmmm... that might be OK for our current needs.
The nice thing about the UW server is your session monitors the
timestamp on the systemwide and per-user alert files and, if this
changes, re-reads their contents to issue the new/revised
notifications. This enables notifications (eg, "The Mail service is
shutting down at 6pm for emergency work") to be sent during someone's
session, not just at session startup.
Thanks,
