Well, seeing how I didn't go to FC2 and I only went to FC3 b/c I built a
new system I think as long as they support FC1 I just may go back to it.
My thing is. If it isn't broke why try to fix it. Maybe there were some
flaws in imapd that I didn't know of but I was able to use it VERY easily.
With dovecot I have been reading you have to reformat the way you use your
mail and mail 'folders'. My inbox is in /var/spool/mail/user and my
'folders' which are only files are under ~/mail and that worked. And
since it was imapd that was working then I guess I will go back to that.
I've tried following the comments and various pages I've found and I have
not been able to get pop or imap to work.

I know that FC3 uses a different program but I want to use what I had
working in FC1. Which pop and imap server did FC1 use? I would just stick
with what FC3 has but I can't get pop or imap and its frustrating me. I'm
glad I can ssh in and get my mail via pine but I want to be able to get it
from anywhere with pop. Which servers do I need to download so I can get
back to my old FC1 config w/o actually going back to FC1?
Seriously, I had dovecot running in 5 minutes flat. I don't think it's
configuration is as nice or easy as imapd, but it really is not hard to set
up. Even the config file is commented.
My suggestion is to learn the new Fedora 3 way of doing things, because I
doubt we're ever going to go back to imapd, and do your really want to go
through this each time we upgrade to FC4, 5, 6 etc?
