This is a matter of choice, whether your MDA does mbox or maildir (are all the email in INBOX kept in one single file - /var/mail/username of in a directory /var/mail/username/filename) Both mbox and maildir have there strengts and weekness. mbox is good at saving space, but bad at removing *one* mail at a time. maildir is bat at saving space but good at removing *one* mail at a time. If you expect your user to remove mail one by one then go with maildir, otherwise go with mbox. What is more inportaint perfomance or saving space? (If you user though away there mail after recieving it all, then maildir sould decrease you performance. Since it hase to remove a large number of files, instead of just one.)

Re: secure pop server
You can use imap-uw with SSL only, and if you´re gonna use sendmail as the MTA, it´s the easiest choice I´ve seen. Just install the cclient port and the imap-uw port, enable inetd and add the required lines to inetd.conf: pop3s stream tcp nowait root/usr/local/libexec/ipop3d ipop3d imaps stream tcp nowait root/usr/local/libexec/imapd imapd you need a certificate to use SSL, so use 'make cert' at the /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw directory. I think that´s all.

Re: secure pop server
Noah, I am looking to set up a secure pop server on one of my FreeBSD 4.8 Stable It depends on other requierements you have. I wanted APOP authentication as well as SSL, so I choosed WU-IMAP. But if I had wanted maildir format of inboxes, I'd have looked at courrier-imap. Now that was some years ago.

RE: secure pop server
Why bother with worrying about this or that pop server. Install the pop server that best fits your situation and then run stunnel by itself to provide secure smtp, pop3 or imap. We do this exact thing with cyrus, stunnel didn't care what it was... Sincerely, Robert T.
