hi,
may be this is a bit of topic, but i hope not. it's always a big
question which is the better to choose a hosting provider to keep and
manage you mail or setup your own mail server, hosting, virus and spam
filter etc.. now as more and more people and company move to gmail or
google apps mail service it seems google can't handle the load and
it's getting more and more slower. what's more not just the imap
interface but nowadays the web interface used to be hang or even stop
working. it's getting more and more annoying that the speed is worst
than in a 10 years ago. i thing about how can this be solved without
totally give up gmail as a mail service provider (and may be they can
solve it in a few months/years:-).
would it be possible to create a dovecot server as an imap proxy for
gmail and google apps?
What I have is:
* rose, my primary server (but far away)
* supercore, another server at my parents' house
rose is the primary MX.
I run offlineimap on supercore to sync a local Maildir on supercore with
rose's IMAP - that way, my parents can use a server with <1ms ping, and
as they use Dovecot to modify the local Maildir on supercore, a minute
later offlineimap will wake up and create IMAP operations to synchronize
rose with the state on supercore.
i'm just look into offlineimap. half of the code for ui, another part to
implement maildir and imap. so it seems for me there is only a little
code which do the synchronization.
Timo what do you think how much work would be add such a middleware imap
server capabilities (ie. imap backend) to dovecot?
