Please post your notes to this list when you are done if you don't mind as I have been wanting to do this for a while. Where are you going to get your backport? (if you will be backporting) I don't see exim listed here: http://www.backports.org/debian/dists/stable/ Is there an official backport? > Then I have one more question, can I in a easy way convert the exim mBox > to maildir (and still keep the mail in /var/spool/mail/$user) inorder to > use Courier-IMAPd so that I can also use a good webserver to check my > mail when on the run? Mutt is an excellent choice for doing the conversion. Make sure your .muttrc has Maildir as its mbox_type: set mbox_type=Maildir Use mutt to open up the particular mbox. type "T" then type "." which will tag all the messages. Type ";s" and mutt will ask you where you want to move all the messages and it will create a NEW Maildir for you. (the semi-colon is important...took me a while to figure that out and if you don't use it, it will only save one message) You state you want to keep the existing mail so use ";C". This will copy all the messages to the new location...not move them. Courier-IMAP does not require your messages to be in /var/spool/mail/$user. I have Courier-IMAP set up with SquirrelMail that reads all of my mail which is in /home/andy/Maildir..... unless I don't understand your question correctly. You may need to tweak the exim.conf to deliver your mail to the Maildir using the "local_delivery:" section to deliver to "directory = ${home}/Maildir/" and you may need to learn exim filters which I love and are easy to learn. Hope your conversion goes well. Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
