Name : imap Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2002d Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 3 Build Date: Tue 22 Jul 2003 02:48:14 PM EDT Install Date: Wed 12 Oct 2005 04:40:08 PM EDT Build Host: bugs.devel.redhat .com Group : System Environment/Daemons Source RPM: imap-2002d-3.src.rpm Size : 2620359 License: University of Washington Free-Fork License Signature : DSA/SHA1, Tue 28 Oct 2003 07:07:14 PM EST, Key ID b44269d04f2a6fd2 Packager : Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> URL : http://www.washington.edu/imap/ Summary : Server daemons for IMAP and POP network mail protocols. Description : The imap package provides server daemons for both the IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and POP (Post Office Protocol) mail access protocols. The POP protocol uses a "post office" machine to collect mail for users and allows users to download their mail to their local machine for reading. The IMAP protocol allows a user to read mail on a remote machine without downloading it to their local machine. Install the imap package if you need a server to support the IMAP or the POP mail access protocols. > > Page 3 of the "howto" advises to setup apt for rpm as follows: > > rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 core updates freshrpms > > With the comment: > > "In the last line, rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 core > updates freshrpms, the 1 is not an error or typo!
