Once you grok the mindset of the developer by reading the wiki (as is always the case with any non-trivial application) Dovecot is remarkably easy to set up. Its doing the complex "ISP/Service provider" stuff with it that gets mind-boggling with all the options and interactions with databases. For a single user on a home machine, the simple server set-up is straight forward and it offers an immense amount of flexibility over regular "commercial ISP" IMAP accounts :-)
Its reports like this that make me reluctant to move to LEAP.
I have been running a Dovecot server for years and it worked well. When I updated to Leap, it stopped working. Rather than try to resolve the issue, I just started using my ISPs IMAP server. I initially started running my own IMAP server because my ISP (actually Yahoo provided the mail server for my ISP) didn't support IMAP at that time.
I'm updated to 42.2 from 13.1 and Dovecot works just fine. Of course, I had to adjust apparmor, but that was expected. That said, I do not know if the Archives folder in Thunderbird works or not. I do not know how it should work. I see a Local folder there with years subfolders and some posts. I also see a gmail folder with many thousands of emails from the lists. I don't know why they are there. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
