its also if xml its simple to make webconfigs from the xml file, but 
nice that you see config as a problem that needs redisigning before 
create another problem with subject, here i still using dovecot 1.2.17 
in gentoo, i feal no need yet to discard that old software yet here, 
asked gentoo devs to put it back to portage, but was denied for some 
reason i just dont understand as you still have wiki for version 1 it 
should imho be supported in os'es as well

for the dovecot submission server will that mean dovecot will now get 
the imap folder for sending mails ?

thanks btw for brind mta up, i think dovecot/postfix is a well working 
combo
