the situation: I need a IMAP-server for a few accounts, that can hold mailboxes with about two or threee GBytes on data. the IMAP-server is only used for internal storage of the data. the server should also pick up the eMails from a few POP3-accounts outside. there is the need to connect with a windows-client and outlook to the server to get all old mailstuff, that is currenty on an exchange-server hosted on a public ISP (so it is outside of our hands). in the next few month there is still the need for the connection from outlook, but at "the end" there will be only a local hostet webmail-solution programmed in PHP that fits the special need for our purpose.
So any IMAP server will do. Any particular reason to pick Cyrus ? I've been using dovecot for quite a while now and I'm pretty happy with it. Marcus Rueckert (aka darix) has been providing high quality RPMs of dovecot since a while now: http://software.opensuse.org/download/server:/mail/ (there are cyrus-imapd packages there as well) Personally, I've been using a few IMAP servers in the past (Cyrus, Courier and dovecot). Not to start a flamewar, and Cyrus certainly has its supporters but I've found Courier to be extremely good though a little tedious to install, start/stop and such (the Courier suite has a performant and modular but somewhat unfriendly architecture). dovecot is very fast and easy to set up (and it's said to be the most secure).

could someone gave me some hints ?
Yes, I think you should really have a look at dovecot. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFE8HWnr3NMWliFcXcRAnFwAKCdGllwrxD0jd611490wlAxZqhf7wCeOI/t LH2fd75Wd0ybncxTdrxWgpE= =0pek -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
