Not a problem. > Dovecot is an imap server similiar to cyrus, courier, dbmail, etc. > Ok. Mailutils comes with its own IMAP server. Granted it may not be the fastest server in the west, but it seems to work well even heavy load. Now, unfortunately I do not have any empirical numbers to back this up. So the questions are: - What is dovecot bringing that we do not? - If dovecot already exists, why do you want to re-implement it? _______________________________________________ Bug-mailutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-mailutils
