Hello, I realize this message is somewhat old. But as I'm also running FreeBSD-5.4 + Horde/Imp. I thought I'd comment. I have been using Horde+Imp with IMAP-UW for several years. I just recently installed Dovecot. I did so while IMAP-UW was still installed. I simply commented out the lines for IMAP-UW in inetd.conf, sent a killall -HUP inetd and proceeded to build/ install Dovecot. This way, I'd be able to revert if I decided Dovecot was not the best choice for me. As it turns out; I should have installed Dovecot a LONG time ago. In short; Mike Jakubik hit the nail squarely on the head. Dovecot *far* exceeds IMAP-UW in performance and configurability. My server loads were *greatly* reduced after making the switch. I also found; although taking a little longer to setup, is by far and away more configurable and efficient than IMPA-UW. So to anyone else that is contemplating which IMAP server to build/ install on their system. It's a "no brainer". Choose Dovecot. It's sure to get even better as it matures.
--Chris out... P.S. I am not employed by, nor do I have any affiliation with Dovecot. Other than having made the choice to install it on my system. Quoting Mike Jakubik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I don't know why you have this problem, but i would suggest you use dovecot or courier as an imap server instead._______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
