Hello,
topic is probably not so precise. What I want is the following:
- I've got some Email/IMAP account.
- My mail is hosted on a server by GMX.
- I've got too many Emails on the host.
- I don't want to loose any of the emails.
- So I will have to install my own mail server,
fetching all my emails from the host.
- The mail server will then have to interact with
my providers server like a client, working as a server for me.
I'm sure there're some good servers, but I don't know which one
- works as expected,
- and is easy to configure.
Any help appreciated.
Kind regards
Peter
Hey Peter,
Personally I have always been happy with exim and dovecot for local mail
servers. Regarding downloading your mail from your remote provider
regularly, I would personally use fetchmail for that - it sounds exactly
what you're looking for (https://sourceforge.net/projects/fetchmail/).
Hope that helps,
Dan
Thank You, Dan - yes, better than looking through a bunch of howtos, as
I'm just having problems - just waited too long ...
exim seems to work with SMTP only, so I'm looking at dovecot as "my" MTA.
Regards
Peter
