Advice taken.. I did some extensive searching of the archived
discussions, and did not find any one thing that related to setup of
dovecot, nor could I find any kind of document describing setup of
sendmail/cyrus-imapd. Even google did not return what I'd consider fair
game unless I were installing from sources, which I'm not. That said,
is there a document that describes setup of dovecot? All I really need
is pop, as there is only one or two mail accounts on the machine.
