Hi Steve,

Go for FreeBSD ;) it offers Dovecot(2) via ports or via package. I always recommend ports though, due to the fact of being able to enable/disable options - but that's your choise.

Ports:
cd /usr/ports/mail/dovecot2
make install clean

or via pkg(8):
pkg install dovecot2

I can allway recommend to ask your friend Google: "FreeBSD + Dovecot + Tutorial" or "FreeBSD + Dovecot + How to". According to my knowledge, it works quite the same with the other BSDs in your list. It's been a while since I worked with one of them. I sticked to FreeBSD

 * For updating / maintenance of ports and packages, I recommend
   portmaster.
 * For System binary related updates there is freebsd-update(8).


Best Regards,
Leander S.

Hi all,

I have a dovecot server on my Debian Wheezy desktop computer. My days
with Debian are limited, and I'm investigating several 'BSD's:

OpenBSD
FreeBSD
PCBSD
NetBSD
DragonflyBSD
etc

Is there any reason Dovecot wouldn't work on any of those? Does anyone
know if those OS's have packages for Dovecot, or do I need to compile
it myself?

Thanks,

SteveT
