	Appreciate it.  Is there an overview of your IMAP/POP3 server?
	Overview, tuturial, what dovecot does? newest features, etc?
	The fellow who set up dovecoat origially has [ what I believe 
	to be] an unnecessary SASL service.  I would like to avoid all
	redundancies, save CPU, troubles, and so on.   ...

	thanks much,
