but what is the benfit?

you can configure encryption and whatnot different
but that does not change the connection between your
proxy and the final destination - the weakest part
stays as problem independent what you do in the middle
of the connection

[Dovecot] Dovecot IMAP proxy for gmail IMAP server

2014-01-17 Thread CM Reddy 
Hi All,

I am experimenting to use Dovecot as an IMAP proxy to GMAIL server. I would
like configure my localhost as an Dovecot IMAP proxy and trying to access
my GMAIL using the Thunderbird email client. Please share the steps to
configure and access my mails from GMAIL server.

- Thanks
CM Reddy

Dovecot doesn't provide persistent IMAP proxying. You should be able to
combine imapproxy with stunnel to do this.

You are probably thinking of the "imapc" backend for Dovecot.  Not sure 
if it gives the persistent connections you are looking for or not since 
I've never used it.

[Dovecot] imap proxy for Gmail

2011-10-19 Thread Jumping Mouse 

Hello, b

I have a situation were I want to be able to give teachers access to their 
Google apps for education email through Squirrelmail. The network that they are 
on blocks gmail.    I am able to get Squirrelmail to communicate with Gmail via 
imap.  I am looking at getting persistant imap connections to improve the user 
experience.  I have looked at IMAPPROXY  but this application is not compatible 
with the gmail imaps (ssl-encrypted imap over port 993).   I recall reading 
somewhere that Dovecot has a built in imapproxy that could be used for this.  

Can someone please point me to documentation or other information on how I 
might achieve the above stated goal?

Thanks,  Kafriki
