I very much want to install an IMAP4 server on our office's mail system.
I've looked a bit at what's there.  But I haven't been able to determine
what's best for us, and I have a few constraints on what we can use.

Here's the particulars:

* It must be IMAP4 or better.  Folks want to use Netscape.
* It must run on Linux.

Right now, email is stored in normal mailboxes on a Linux system.  Most
folks use the POP server.  Some others use ELM, and would like to be able
to
continue using ELM.  These users also prefer ELM to PINE.  Can ELM work
with IMAP?  I can reconfigure ELM if necessary.  What might be nicer,
though, is an IMAP server that kept the email store in regular mailboxes
so ELM would continue working as is.  But I could see that there might be
problems with that.

Is there a server I can set up to preserve this functionality?  Folks will
continue using POP clients.  Some will use ELM.  Some will use new IMAP
clients like Netscape.

As a bonus, it would be nice if the server were easy to build, install and
configure on the Linux machine.  One nice thing about the POP server is
that I didn't have to do anything at all for it to work but install
Slackware.  Not that I'm afraid to install stuff -- I've built and
installed many packages from source, and some I've even ported to Linux.
But I'd RATHER have something that's easy to get running quickly.  I'd
settle for just a good set of instructions that are somewhat
Linux-specific (like a previous Linux user's experience setting the server
up or something).

So, can anyone here point me in the right direction?

I'm posting from home -- feel free to reply in the newsgroup, via email to
r...@grouplogic.com, or r...@eats.com.

Thanks!

Rob
