I've been in San Francisco for a few days again and seen a lot of older friends like Tantek, MJ, Dave, and Dinah but also met some very cool new people like Toni, Jeremy, the lovely Cheyanne, and MJ's sister Amy. Note that Amy's site is Team Monkey, not T-Monkey…
No More Outlook Express
Microsoft abandons Outlook Express says ZDNet UK. I find this highly disappointing because I've really become attached to OE, mostly because of it's enhanced IMAP functionality over Outlook 2003. However if you look at that bizarre out-of-context quote in the middle of the article, "IMAP is just not a very…

It is excellent… since I set it up a couple of months ago, it’s run like a dream. Given that it users Maildirs it makes it really easy to write scripts to process and move files around your folders. I wrote a script that periodically checks a “Train as spam” folder, classifies the message as spam using spamprobe, then files it in the spam folder.
I blogged about setting up Dovecot, Exim and Fetchmail here … http://blogs.papercutsoftware.com/matt.doran/archives/2004/08/24/new-mail-server-debian-exim4-dovecot-imap/
What are you currently using, photomatt?
I’ve been using UW’s imapd, which has served well enough for the past year. I’m just now growing beyond mbox mailboxes, so I’m looking at Courier IMAP with maildir for the next iteration of my server. Most of the folks on my LUG’s mailing list rave about Courier IMAP.
Note this follow-up message to the one linked in Matt Doran’s entry about Dovecot’s speed. I use Mozilla Thunderbird as my MUA, as do most of my users. I’m fairly certain that Thunderbird (and many other “popular” MUAs, as described in the link above) do a great deal of caching. That may obviate a lot of Dovecot’s performance.
I like Postfix.
Thanks for that Skippy. I’m currently using UW.
What I meant to write last time was that I like Postfix and Courier IMAP. I run that with maildirs and it works great.
