aioshin Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) which do you prefer?, especially for those who have experience already on building email servers. there are several options out there, since we have a lot of imap servers to choose.. but my personal options are CYRUS-IMAP , UW-IMAP, and Courier-Imap... but I still need your input.. thanks in advance Edited June 17, 2005 by aioshin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 I use uw-imap, postfix, saslauth, spamasassin, amavisd if I was going to do it again I would use courier instead of uw-imap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 I see it is not in your list, but I happily use BincIMAP. I tried using Courrier or Cyrus, but neither would install for me. BincIMAP is easy to install, and easy to configure, and it uses the Maildir format for storing the messages. Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I use courier-imap, just because it's what the HOWTO I followed uses. Works nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddmcse Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 i've installed a couple different ones and after checking it seems on this build I have imap 2004-1 mdk imap is the way to go for sure however there are limitations , i.e. one server i have allows 2meg uploads and another allows 32megs. spam is an issue and training spamassassin can become a part time job . but i can't image being without spamassassin i use squirrelmail to access the mail from any platform (no client required) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aRTee Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Quick add-on question: what HOWTO is that you're referring to, adamw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 (edited) finally, after several days, or I think, its been weeks of struggling to setup my email server... I decided and able to made it... Courier-IMAP-Postfix-Virtual-Users/domain-mysql - squirrelMail - on a centos4 box, the hard part is that I was forced to rpm build on some of the package especially courier, If only I used mandrake as the host, It might be easy coz almost all of courier has its rpm for mandrake already, anyway I did'nt do it myself... the guides I found had been very helpful on what I wanted it to be links: http://postfixwiki.org/index.php?title=Vir...-IMAP_and_MySQL http://kirb.insanegenius.net/postfix.html http://high5.net/postfixadmin/ and of course: http://www.google.com Postfix_Courier_IMAP_mysql.html Edited September 9, 2005 by aioshin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theYinYeti Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Split: theory is still here; software installation problems are dealt with here: qmail packages in conflict with postfix Yves, moderator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
