how to configure imapsieve to be used per user

[Paul Kudla]

My apologies to the response eariler

I was making the assumption that you were using pigeonholes

it needs to be compiled seperately after making dovecot's server installs

basically the pigeonholes has to be compiled against the dovecot version 
you are running

after which my post info will be valid.

fyi .....





Happy Thursday !!!
Thanks - paul
