I just don't have a good understanding of email. Can you give me an idea of how you'd set this up? At this point I only need mail for myself via claws-mail. I currently use postfix, courier-imap, and squirrelmail, and my mail is in ~/.maildir/ too. - Grant > > I've generated an SSL cert for courier-imap and started > > courier-imapd-ssl.
