> Description :
> The imap package provides server daemons for both the IMAP (Internet
> Message Access Protocol) and POP (Post Office Protocol) mail access
> protocols. The POP protocol uses a "post office" machine to collect
> mail for users and allows users to download their mail to their local
> machine for reading. The IMAP protocol allows a user to read mail on a
> remote machine without downloading it to their local machine.
>
> Install the imap package if you need a server to support the IMAP or
> the POP mail access protocols.

Rip that out. Alexander was right in that regard. Uw-imap has some
"features" that make it less than ideal. (Of course, dovecot and
cyrus both have their less than ideal features. Dovecot is a slam
dunk operation once cruft like uw-imap is removed.)
