sounds like everyone is sold on dovecot. Great!. I've a few

See http://wiki.dovecot.org/Clients . This shows some interesting
problems
and I'd like to know if everyone using dovecot sees these problems.
I use mutt 1.4.2.3i, which works without problems. I have also used
Thunderbird with it, as does my business partner, and spotted no
issues
there either.
Second, how do programs like dovecot manage users? Does each user
of the
e-mail system need to be a user of the FreeBSD system (installed
locally)?
As Gerard said, dovecot can handle virtual users. There are several
ways
to do this - probably the most scalable will be SQL and LDAP, although
you can use passwd-file as well. There's some good documentation on
the
web site, particularly http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication.

Sorry if this has been suggested, I'm coming in to the conversation
late. There is a very detailed how-to on www.purplehat.org on setting
up a Postfix server with dovecot and mysql. They even walk you
through setting up spam filtering and anti-virus.
