Re: courier-imap fest

["Larry Moore" <lmoore@starwon.com.au>]

I have built Courier-IMAP and have it working as expected on OpenBSD 2.7 for
SPARC and i386.
I am authenticating against the users password as UW-IMAP does that is
stored in /etc/master.passwd.
I haven't configured userdb at this stage so I can't comment on that aspect
of Courier-IMAP.
If you are using O/E you will want to use courier-imap-1.2.3.20001128 or
later. The version I have just mentioned is a test version which fixes some
problems I have observed with O/E.

I am also using Postfix for the MDA and have configured it to use Maildir/
 see /etc/postfix/main.cf).
You will also need to place INBOX into the root folder in your Clients IMAP
configuration. This works fine for O/E, Netscape 6 and Eudora.

Cheers,

Larry.
