Hi there,
I'm prompted to get into running my own mail server again with Gmail going bad.
However I found /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config/conf.d/ a little scary, since I like to have my configs as minimalistic as possible, e.g. http://dabase.com/blog/Minimal_squid3_proxy_configuration/
So far I have: https://github.com/Webconverger/sg.webconverger.com/blob/master/dovecot/dove...
I was kinda hoping for a Maildir, but this doesn't work: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
I do realise /var/mail/%u is a mbox, but I was wondering if there could be some clever conversion.
I was surprised something like INBOX=/var/mail/%u wasn't the default
btw. Also surprised dovecot seems to choke on single line syntax like
passdb { driver = pam } :-)
Next thing I'm confused about is the namespace inbox { stuff. Is it
really needed? I was expecting Dovecot to create the folders once I
defined them, but mutt couldn't see them until I created them myself.
The mail server is just for myself and a few colleagues. We will probably use mutt as our MUA and Apple Mail on IOS when we are out & about. I next plan to integrate dspam, and work out how to sort mails into folders like I previously effectively had with Gmail's labels.
I was confused to which mechanism I should be using to sort mail into folders with rules. Sieve? Back to Procmail? Pigeonhole? I'm looking to avoid complexity here.
On the topic of search, can I get away with not running a Solr server? Since I shudder at the thought of running Tomcat. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS
Kiitos paljon for any pointers!
