Hi,

Any recommendations for a IMAP server (on Debian 2.2)? IMAP4.7c (I think this 
is UW IMAP?) seems to intergrates relatively painless and support most IMAP 
features (although I couldn't find anything on shared folders), courier-imap 
seems technically better(?) but confusing to set up especially making use of 
extended features like its altered maildir standard for shared folders, I can't 
seem to figure out what else this might break when using this? Also it's not 
very clear with courier where exactly the mail folders are going to be stored, 
/var/spool/mail or $HOME/?
UW-IMAP indicates that folders are stored in $HOME/ and it automatically picks 
up mail from /var/spool/mail as well as $HOME/mbox, this doesn't indicate 
whether these mail are then transported to an imap folder or left there (btw 
this is makes me lean toward it for easier integration).

Then there's cyrus(cyris ?) imap as well. Couldn't really make much from its 
docs though.

If someone that's running an imap server could give me some advice on what/how 
to install and set up partitions for storage, and in general which package 
gives the least headaces configuring. I also need to supply webmail access so 
would welcome any recommendations.

Also, is running POP3 and IMAP simultaneously possible/a big no-no? What 
caveats/issues are there?

Thanks in advance :-)
