Also if you know of a IMAP server that will actually cut out Run Sendmail or Postfix locally and let fetchmail pass the fetched mail to this MTA. It will then process the mail and either deliver it by using procmail or deliver it his own to local mail boxes, so you can then use dovecot to access the mail by using a mail client. > the first step and download the email to the server would make it a bit > easier. Oh and any links would be great. Goggling gives a lot of info to It is not the task of any IMAP/POP3 server to fetch mail from another IMAP/POP3 server. > go through. More info then time to go through it. Setting up a mail server is not really a trivial job. As for an office mail server you may want to hire someone with enough experience with it. If you want to do it yourself you should read the documentation about - fetchmail - Sendmail / Postfix - procmail - dovecot Use google to find their websites and other howtos. > David Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG key 1024D/ED695653 1999-07-13 Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 (Tettnang) kernel 2.6.8-1.521smp Serendipity 15:46:15 up 11 days, 13:02, load average: 2.31, 1.96, 1.37
