Generic information about mail servers
======================================
* Mail protocols: IMAP [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imap], POP3

A simple Dovecot installation
=============================
It's a good idea to start with a simple Dovecot installation to see that
everything works. After that you can start changing things one at a time, so if
you run into trouble you know immediately where the problem is.
If you're in a hurry and you already know enough about mail servers,
<QuickConfiguration.txt> may be more helpful to you instead.
