Hello all,
I am new to dovecot and have had a good experience so far. I'm using fetchmail - exim - dovecot - my email clients (mac os mail and thunderbird so far). I'm also using Ubuntu Server i.e. debian.
I didn't like the inflexibility of mbox so I did a tweak to exim to deliver mail to a Maildir folder in my home directory on the server. I restarted Dovecot and it found it! Very nice but mysterious. I don't remember if I did anything to the dovecot.conf file.
My clients balk at the ssl certificate that was created at install time. I see a little bit of documentation on SSL. I'll struggle with it.
I'm going to look at more client setups like evolution and a webmail client. Can anyone recommend a good ajax-driven webmail client?
Dovecot is good software. I'm happy I found it.
