The imap server that's being removed is the UW-imap server due to some license issues.. Dovecot and cyrus-imapd are available . I've set up a full mail server on FC1 using squirrelmail , postfix and dovecot on my home machine (just for practice) and it worked perfectly. Squirrelmail has on its configuration some special tricks when dealing with certain imap servers.. For dovecot , just set it as "other" under imap server type.. from the config.pl script: > > Each IMAP server has its own quirks.
