Q1. The UW IMAP Server supports "pre-authenticated connections" -- does Dovecot?
dovecot --exec-mail imap
Excellent! I hadn't found that command line option yet: thank you.
In case anyone else is wanting pre-authenticated connections Googling
dovecot.org for "--exec-mail" has now led me to this helpful page on
converting from UW IMAP:
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-January/010968.htmlQ2. The UW IMAP Server can issue "IMAP Alerts"
Hmmm... that might be OK for our current needs.
The nice thing about the UW server is your session monitors the
timestamp on the systemwide and per-user alert files and, if this
changes, re-reads their contents to issue the new/revised
notifications. This enables notifications (eg, "The Mail service is
shutting down at 6pm for emergency work") to be sent during someone's
session, not just at session startup.
Thanks, Mike B-)
