- What authentification method would you recommend? OS X does not keep the users and passwords in /etc/passwd, so I'm using passwd-file method at the moment. I'm wondering how good a choice this is.
I think it does update /etc/passwd? At least my userid is there. You should be able to use PAM as passdb, and passwd as userdb.
Unfortunately it does not seem to update it. I see very few things in /etc/passwd.
In fact, the header from the file says:
top% cat /etc/passwd

# Note that this file is consulted when the system is running in single-user

however I could not find a imapd to call directly. Is this possible with dovecot?
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
Great, thanks a lot.
- I see that the maiboxes created under the Maildir directory are of the form .INBOX and .Sent. Could it be possible (maybe using namespaces, I have not really understood how they work) to store them without the leading dot?
Not yet. It's the Maildir++ standard. I may implement something else some day.
OK, this is fine, thanks.
I have a question about procmail, but I'll ask it in another message.
