There is one new web base imap server you should take a look at, but it is
not in RPM format I am afraid. Take a look at http://www.silkymail.com.
I just downloaded it but it seems to be very nice. Cyrusoft just released
it under the GPL.

Hi all ,
I've been seeing a lot of praise for Suse Linux on this list and I thought I'll present my dissenting opinion. I recently bought Suse Linux 7.0 Professional to install on our Dell system. I wanted to run IMP (Web based email) on this server to provide access to all of our employeess access to email (both web based and via imap). The installation itself was flawless (kudos to the team) but it is after that I ran into problems. I tried to install the IMP from rpms and ran into tons of unresolved dependencies. I then tried to download the source rpms and tried to install everything but that ran into problems too. I was basically looking for - Postfix + IMAP + Postgres + IMP . I didn't have any problems with the first 3 but the last one gave me ulcers. In frustration, I installed RH 7.0 and everything was up and running in no time.
Suse is good with stability, installation and configuration but it is the lack of rpms that creates problems.
BTW, if anyone can recommend a good Web-based email (like IMP) for SuSe, I'll be more than happy to revisit this distribution. For the moment , I use a combination of RH7.X, Suse 6.x (firewall) on our network. -- Hiren -- -------------------------------------------------------- It is not the speaker who controls communication, but the listener.
