Hi Tere are several solutions, but if you start with IMAP server, finds one with many documentations. Also look at how it is managed, the db which they use, authentification, virtual server or not. I begin withe mail server, I configured cyrus+postfix+fetchmail and it is true that'ss not simple: I use opengroupeware, which use Postgresql, Web-cyradmin, an weg interface for cyrus rather uses mysql, there is average with pgsql, but it is necessary to seek... it is necessary also to think compared to your network wich authentification you use, and to see the possibility of your mail server. It is necessary that you are made a schedule of conditions, and you should already advance. And to test a configuration would allow you to make your own choice. I wish you good courage. jf > Hi, > I have not had much dealings with setting up email servers, and I need > some suggestions.
