Of course not.

No, it does not matter: qmail can run without imapd and vice-versa. They  
can even be on different machines (if the maildir is mounted in some way  
on both).

No.

They're POP2 and POP3 server daemons.

No.

I'm not sure. I know it runs out of inetd, though.

No, it doesn't matter what order you start them.

You may also wish to consider Mr. Sam's courier-imap, which works nicely with
Qmail and maildirs:

[Dave: you could/should perhaps add this URL to the LWQ page in the IMAP
server section]

Doubts: qmail and IMAP

[Gilberto Rodrigues]

I want to use qmail, maildirs and IMAP to config a mail server. I
installed qmail v1.03, daemontools and ucspi-tcp packages and everything
is running ok. I downloaded UW-IMAP 4.7b, compiled it, applied David
Harris patch and build it. Ok, now it's time to install IMAP, but I have
some doubts (probably they're a little bit basic, but I would be very
grateful if someone could help me). 

1. I'm following the BUILD doc and according to it, I should install the
pop2d, pop3d and imapd daemons in a system directory of my choosing. Is
it necessary to install the pop2d and pop3d daemons? What are they for?
Must all of them be running even if I wanna have only IMAP protocol?

2. According to the docs, I should update inetd.conf to invoke the
daemons. I guess I could use tcpserver instead of editing it. Is it
correct? Does IMAP daemon have to appear before qmail's dameons in init
scripts?

Thanks in advance,

Gilberto Rodrigues
