Hi all, |

The short question (for those of you who can't be bothered to read the detail!): |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
What is a good IMAP server to set up on Gentoo? |
| 6 |
How can I automatically move email from several pop servers into an |
| 7 |
appropriate inbox on the IMAP server? |
| 8 |

The details: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I do not know very much about the mail subsystem in Linux, and so |
| 14 |
would appreciate some help in setting up a mail system on my Gentoo |
| 15 |
server. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
1) I currently have a few pop email accounts with my ISP and others |
| 18 |
(eg gmail), and wish to retain these accounts, as I use them for |
| 19 |
different purposes and people already have these addresses. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
2) I have a server and three client PC's set up at home. The server is |
| 22 |
Gentoo, and the client machines are Windows XP, Kubuntu and Apples OSX |
| 23 |
respecitvely. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
3) I want to be able to access the same mail and mail folders from all |
| 26 |
machines, and the state of those mailboxes be mirrored on all the |
| 27 |
other machines. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
4) I want to filter junk mail using SpamAssassin. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Hence, it seems to me that I want to set up an IMAP server to manage |
| 32 |
the mailboxes and give the functionality required in (3) above. I also |
| 33 |
need some way of downloading mail from the remote pop servers and load |
| 34 |
them into the IMAP inbox. (4) can wait until later! |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Cheers, |
