Yes. The same way I answerd many questions alike in the past on this list.
Now I decided to do the same. What is your point?

I use the imap-uw port. It was as simple as this:

cd /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw
make install
echo 'imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/imapd imapd' >
/etc/inetd.conf

and that was it...

you will need to alter some stuff with any imap server, otherwise
sendmail wouldn't know how to feed incoming mails to that server.

Still, I find cyrus-imap _very_ capable. Maybe not the easiest
one, but very competent anyway.

cd /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw
make install

/usr/ports/mail/imap-uw

It does not scale very well (and also read the SECURITY file for the
package), but it does fit the above description.

ports/mail/imap-uw, but see pkg/SECURITY.

        Sacha, I didn't see the reply to your question:
        what was your resolution?  thanks.

Ok.. I retried imap-uw from the ports (after a minor change 'make' in
parameters).

And added the following line to my /etc/inetd.conf:

127.0.0.1:imap  stream  tcp     nowait root     /usr/local/libexec/imapd
imapd

Which made me relative safe against external users.


The overal goal was to find a webmailer that uses Imap and PHP.
I stumbled across Aeromail and Faeromail. Both waren't really my taste an
missed a few features and tended to be *VERY* buggy.
Tried NOCC 0.9.4 from sourceforge. Installed PHP 4.05 with Imap support
after installing c-client from /usr/ports/mail. Configurated the
configfile and it went running just like a song (Respects to W. Kemp - One
piece at the time). And yes.. I've read ssl(8) and got apache working with
https :-)

Now I'm searching for something more extended with the use of sent
messages and adres books (Yet again any suggestions are welcome)

Ok.. thnx all.. I'm off,

Sacha
