[rhn-users] Postfix + Maildir + IMAP/POP3

[Lloyd H. Meinholz]

I think the RHEL3 IMAP server (UW-IMAP) does not support maildir. There 
are other IMAP servers than Courier-IMAP that support maildir. I use 
Dovecot and I'm pretty sure the Cyrus IMAP server also supports maildir. 
If you aren't committed to using one, maybe Dovecot is a good choice 
since it's the default in RHEL4 (although Cyrus RPM's also seem available).
