Two components: fetchmail - gets email from POP3 (client) dovecot - serves email out by IMAP (server) Both on the standard repos: sudo apt-get install fetchmail dovecot Note that fetchmail can also get email from IMAP and dovecot can also serve email out by POP3. The point is, fetchmail to fetch the mail, dovecot to serve it out. http://tinyurl.com/5464y4 (Fetchmail Debian/Ubuntu tutorial) http://fetchmail.berlios.de (Fetchmail home page) http://www.dovecot.org (Dovecot home page) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dovecot (Dovecot Ubuntu tutorial) Let me know if you have more specific questions. I don't use Fetchmail but lots of people on this list do. I do use Dovecot to serve IMAP though. -- Andrew Oakley -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Server Setup - Help Needed With Email
Can you not setup your email to be picked up using postfix/smtp? Using an mx record from your domain and also securing the authentication for the email. You might be able to setup fetchmail to collect the email and distribute it out using dovecot and postfix. If you use webmin it will greatly help you with this setup also this will be included in the next issue of the Fullcircle magazine that I write a server article for, would you like me to send you it after I have written it?

So what you mean is your internal Ubuntu box retrieves the mail via POP3 from the external webhost, then many users can access the mail on the Ubuntu box via IMAP, and replies go through the Ubuntu box to the external webhost, where replies appear to come from "support@". Sounds like a recipe for an open relay if it's not secured properly. =) I only did Exchange mail before so I can't help much, but do be careful!

[ubuntu-uk] Server Setup - Help Needed With Email
Evening All, Firstly, some background: I work for a small company, on a mainly windows network. For historical reasons, we use a webhost who only provide POP3 accounts. I have a need to share a POP3 mailbox between multiple users (specifically support@). We have recently installed a machine on the network with Ubuntu Server installed. What I would like to do is have that single POP3 account on the server, and the server then to share that mail out as IMAP, so that multiple clients can use it. I have never set up a mail server, but am eager to learn! My ideal solution to this would be an RTFM, but with a pointer to a specific M to R! I have seen other threads on this (and other) mailing lists, but am not sure where to start.
