My personal IMAP/Mail server

[kivu]

Despite all available howto's walkthroughs and other documentation I could not find a straightforward description to setup fetchmail, postfix and cyrus imap server togehter on a Ubuntu machine (Hoary 5.04 installed as server).

Therefor I created my own doc http://home.kivu.nl/imap_setup.html
from many other docs.

Hope it is usefull for Ubuntu users.

I have a few POP3 accounts which I can now access from every location with my laptop and soon by webmail too.

Still todo setting up Squirrelmail for webmail access and some spam filtering but for now it works fine. MediaWiki would be nice too, should be easy to write stuff on my site.

I have added some explanation about Postfix and SASL authentication to the doc. I forgot to mention that you have to disable chroot mode for smtp, otherwise you have to go through a great deal of hassle to get it working.

On the Postfix site it also advised to not run in chroot mode if you want to use SASL authentication.
