Imap

Hi Guys...

I read that roundcube requires imap tp be running on the mail server.

I use centos 6 with sendmail and dovecot which incorporates imap.

rpm -q dovecot -i

Summary     : Secure imap and pop3 server
Description :
Dovecot is an IMAP server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security
primarily in mind.  It also contains a small POP3 server.  It supports mail
in either of maildir or mbox formats.

The SQL drivers and authentication plug-ins are in their subpackages.

Is this what is required for roundcube

Thanks,

Yes. There are other IMAP servers (e.g. Cyrus), but dovecot is a good choice.

Thanks very much to your answer.
I have setup a test server to give it a try.
