Hi All,

I have migrated from uw-imap to Dovecot for POP3 & IMAP service. I run webmail using squirrelmail. When running uw-imap I used to run up.imapproxyd on the webmail server for faster responses. After migrating to Dovecot, I find that up.imapproxyd does not work well with dovecot.

Why not?

I don't understand Databases and don't want to install mysql etc for a simple thing like IMAP PRoxy.

Do you just want it to proxy everyone to a single destination or to different servers based on username? If you want everyone to the same destination, why do you even want to use a proxy?

My question is can Dovecot be run as a IMAP PRoxy without the hassle of setting up mysql etc? I use /etc/passwd for auth on the actual dovecot server running IMAP & POP3.

Using checkpassword or SQLite would probably be the easiest solution. Or generation of a passwd-file, but you'd have to keep it updated if users change.
