Yes, "Be there" - but "Be prepared" and have something to point to: "See it is easy and all there, dude!" >>> One important thing is the documentation of the imap server, and >>> there cyrus could offer more....

Distro specific directions are lame, pointless, and > unmaintainable [beyond possibly packages-are-here]. Yes, you're right. But in many cases it just point to somewhere else, which might be better than having nothing. For Ubuntu there is a howto: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Cyrus_IMAPD and what do you get? 2.2.13 - uargh: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/cyrus-imapd-2.2 That may not be, what we want. > Once the packages are installed setting up is essentially the same > everywhere. Yes. But "install" is always first. If you do not get the user to get it installed, everything else is useless. If you were a newbie and most people were trying to talk you away from Cyrus and there is no deb or rpm, would you try to compile the software yourself? >> - From single server to multi server? - How to start with >> partitions and why? - Where to get latest releases (rpm/deb) when >> is not in my distriburtion (simon matter etc.)? - Everyone is >> talking about "Push-Mail" - how to do it with Cyrus? > It just happens if you your client supports IMAP idle. _I_ know that. :) It is just one example what I think user could search for.

You could put your "Shameless self promotion" in the wiki then. :) Marc ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
