I recently chose dovecot over courier and it has been working out pretty well. If it has integrated certificate support and isn't too hard to set up, that might be your best option. I considered doing that as well, but since my cell phone email client didn't support client certificates at the time, I never followed through. > stunnel would work, I'll weigh it vs coercing imap server to fit my whim. In past projects I've always found stunnel to be confusing and buggy. There are several versions of it and the newer versions just seemed to confuse things more. Recently I've switched to socat for similar features. It's far more of a swiss army knife, but also more intuitive for me. I've never looked into using it for IMAP access (and how you'd handle user identity info, or whatever) so it would be a DIY project of sorts, but it is worth looking into. > I now have a working system and the improvements will be incremental. > > FWIW - this all started when I wanted to run mutt from my laptop instead of > sshing to my server for email. > In past trials I've found Thunderbird to be slow and ugly and web mail > options to be cumbersome. sshfs might be an option, though probably slow...
