I'm all for hiding complexity. Though doveconf -a is interesting to
see what I'm up against. Thanks for that
If you want minimal configuration fuss, you can try uw-imapd. Not a lot of knobs to twist on that thing, but you'll have to accept all its limitations as well.
Thanks for the interesting link. I did find PANDA-IMAP via Wikipedia. https://github.com/jonabbey/panda-imap
I don't think PANDA-IMAP can do Maildir, thread references or meet my goals really. http://dabase.com/blog/Minimal_Dovecot/
The sample configuration is verbose because it doubles as documentation: you can use it as a starting point and remove the parts you don't need, or start from the documentation and move forward. I agree, though, that the documentation needs an editorial overhaul -- it's a little bewildering to find what you need along with the contextual information.
I want to use Dovecot, though I do want to see this overhaul. I have already spent hours trying to get a sane email setup.
I wouldn't mind editing the wiki if I had permission to so and ideally via a git backend. http://ikiwiki.info/ or without the Web interface http://laktek.github.io/punch/ is good. Or even my low tech wiki https://github.com/kaihendry/wordsister
It appears to me to have grown organically, and maybe will need pruning some day.
I hope it's fixed. Is there a bug tracker btw?
I just see this proposal here: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-January/018786.html
I want to see Dovecot hopefully fit my humble use cases. :-)
