Hi.

I finally decided it was really time to stop being lazy and really move away from gmail. After I have a server in my basement using power, etc.

So I turned on the imap provided - and did not quite cry - it will have to do for now, but imap2 is wanting.

A real server yes, but not Linux. (Using linux would require another server AND I would feel I am being lazy again).

So, I downloaded dovecot-2.2.25 and tried to build.

I am quite willing to dig and dig - but I want to be know if there will be any interest and/or support for dovecot on AIX.

Does the compiler support C99 standard?
