If you want to allow training from all your users, then yes, they would all need to have imap accounts on the sa-learn box. Their primary mail wouldn't be to that box, just a second imap connection for training in your scenario; it would probably be more tenable with a limited set of trusted users performing training. You may be able to setup LDAP authentication in dovecot and manage the actual account login/password from your existing network, but the second connection would be required unless you could find a way to keep your users' training folders in Exchange, then sync them all to the sa-learn box. It may not be the best solution for you, but you've now at leat considered it... :) > There are other logistic hurdles in getting additional mail accounts > setup on corporate PC's and firewall hurdles.
