			== Dovecot ==

			POP3 and IMAP server

			NOTE: Much easier to configure than cyrus!!

			Installation:
			# Ubuntu
			sudo apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d

			# Centos
			yum install dovecot
			service dovecot restart

			Config File: /etc/dovecot.conf

			=== Quick Dovecot Setup ===

			You can use Dovecot for mail server

			Install the packages
			sudo apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d

			Configure the protocol you need to be used by appending the protocol in the file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:
			protocols = pop3 pop3s imap imaps

			Choose the mailbox you would like to use. Dovecot supports maildir and mbox formats. Edit the file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and change the line
			mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir # (for maildir)

			mail_location = maildir:~/.Maildir # (for hidden maildir)

			or
			mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u # (for mbox)


			<pre>
			# Mail location for other users' mailboxes. Note that %variables and ~/
			# expands to the logged in user's data. %%n, %%d, %%u and %%h expand to the
			# destination user's data.
			#location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
			</pre>

			/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf :
			#ken#mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
			mail_location = maildir:~/.Maildir:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

			Restart the service
			sudo /etc/init.d/dovecot restart

			Use telnet to check that dovecot is working properly.
			telnet localhost imap
