Greetings

This week I've gotten two cyrus imap servers working, one at work on a
slow old test box and another on my machine at home.  The performance is
significantly better than UW imap an I am very pleased with that.  At
work I just had two imap servers connected to one client and migrated
with a mouse.  At home I used the migration scripts.  I had to hack them
a little to change directories to match the rpm directories.  Also all
of the mail folders that were not the inbox needed to be added to the
user.sub files in /var/lib/imap/user/d to get them to be visible.  So
I'll have to agree with Adam that migrating from UW is the most
difficult part.

Sieve is working but not behaving quite as expected so I will need to
investigate.

The thing I have not yet figured out yet is how to successfully have
shared folders that I can see in my evolution client and my wife can see
in her m$ outlook 2000 client.  Yes I could create a shared user and
connect as that user, but doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose.

Also I have yet to get some anti spam package going.  I am assuming
spam-assisin is the suggested.
