Questions tagged [dovecot]

Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written primarily with security in mind

Dovecot can work with standard mbox, Maildir, and its own experimental native high-performance dbox formats.[2] It is fully compatible with UW IMAP and Courier IMAP servers’ implementation of them, as well as mail clients accessing the mailboxes directly.

Dovecot also includes a Mail delivery agent (called Local delivery agent in Dovecot’s documentation), with optional Sieve filtering support.

Dovecot supports a variety of authentication schemas for IMAP and POP access including CRAM-MD5 and the more secure DIGEST-MD5.
