Hi Steve,
Go for FreeBSD ;) it offers Dovecot(2) via ports or via package. I always recommend ports though, due to the fact of being able to enable/disable options - but that's your choise.
Ports: cd /usr/ports/mail/dovecot2 make install clean
or via pkg(8): pkg install dovecot2
I can allway recommend to ask your friend Google: "FreeBSD + Dovecot + Tutorial" or "FreeBSD + Dovecot + How to". According to my knowledge, it works quite the same with the other BSDs in your list. It's been a while since I worked with one of them. I sticked to FreeBSD
- For updating / maintenance of ports and packages, I recommend portmaster.
- For System binary related updates there is freebsd-update(8).
Best Regards, Leander S.

Hi all,
I have a dovecot server on my Debian Wheezy desktop computer. My days with Debian are limited, and I'm investigating several 'BSD's:
OpenBSD FreeBSD PCBSD NetBSD DragonflyBSD etc
Is there any reason Dovecot wouldn't work on any of those? Does anyone know if those OS's have packages for Dovecot, or do I need to compile it myself?
Thanks,
SteveT
