Right, FC2 and FC3 come with Cyrus-IMAPd packaged (though the default IMAP server is dovecot). I prefer Cyrus-IMAPd because of it's capabilities. > 1) we need our users to be able to login and set their own passwords > (currently we use usermin for this) How to realize this depends on the auth method you use. If staying with system users which the uw-imapd uses, you can keep your usermin tool. But Cyrus-IMAPd is able to run in sealed mode too as it uses SASL. > 2) we need both pop and imap services Of course no problem. > 3) we intend to use smtp auth in the not too distant future No topic for the IMAP/POP3 side. > 4) we would like to implement some sort of quota system where sendmail > (or whatever MTA) will not accept more mail once a user's mailbox is filled Cyrus-IMAPd supports mailbox quota by his own. > Would it be recommended to go through the hassles of configuring > cyrus-imapd?

Do you know any other IMAP/POP3 server which handles mailbox quota by his own and does not rely on filesystem quota? > HL Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | new address - new key: 0xB366A773 legal statement: http://www.uni-x.org/legal.html Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 (Tettnang) on Athlon kernel 2.6.9-1.6_FC2smp Serendipity 04:17:27 up 12 days, 23:04, load average: 0.46, 0.75, 0.57 --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
