Need some input on IMAP

[Mark Musone]

What you'll probably want is the UW IMAP server. (the same people that
make PINE)

You should be able to download it directly from
http://www.washington.edu/imap/
But I'm sure it also comes as standard packages in linux distributions.

BTW, when you say you'r using fetchmail to retreive emails fomr the
server, do you
Mean from your ISP??

Subject: Need some input on IMAP


Hey all,

I have seen many people talking about fetchmail and such for retrieval
of 
email to a local server.  Me and my g/f are starting a home-based sales 
business and a web-site.  I would like to setup an imap server so that
we 
can both access emails for the business, off of my local server.  I will

likely use fetchmail to retrieve the emails from the server and store
them 
locally to be accessed via imap.

I am looking for input on the various imap implementations that are out 
there.  Just like anything in Linux there is much to choose from.
Having 
no need for an imap server previously, I am looking for any real-world 
advice from those who have dealt with the various imap software
packages.

(Side note)
I find it funny that I always hear that "there's no software for Linux"
all 
the time, I find it ironic because one of the biggest problems I have
found 
with Linux is the over-abundance of software.  There are usually 3+ 
programs that can do equivalent things, it is just a matter of 
preference,sometimes stability, and ease of installation that usually
sets 
them apart.

Thanks,
