Forgot to mention. I'm running Washington IMAP and use fetchmail, to get the mail from my ISP. Can fetchmail be used with Courier or Cyrus IMAP?
Fetchmail can be used with Courier IMAP. Don't know about Cyrus.
The Imap service doesn't have anything to do with fetchmail. It's postfix that deals with fetchmail. Fetchmail "fetches" your mails from the various pop servers and dumps them in the mail queue for postfix to pick them up. Postfix delivers these mails to the local mailboxes or relays them to the destination if postfix is configured that way. Postfix uses the standard transport to deliver the mails, usually that transport is configured to pass the mails to the amavisd for spam and virus checking or directly to the imap service.
I'm using fetchmail to download incoming mail. It then places the messages in the mbox file. I don't believe Courier or Cyrus IMAP servers work with mbox. tnx
