Re: [Evolution] OT: Setting up a local mail server

[Anders Engström <aengstrom gnejs net>]

Hi.

I have a set-up that is perfect for me. I get the mail (POP3) using
fetchmail - then postfix and procmail delivers the mail to the
IMAP-server (Cyrus). 

Since I use a number of email clients (Mutt, Evolution, Mozilla) and
read my mail from a number of locations this is perfect :)

You might want to take a look at "How to set up IMAP on the cheap" - a
5-piece article on linuxworld.com. I followed this article pretty much
to the point to get my system up and running.
