imap server

I use the standard imap that comes with RH6.2 (UW I presume) and it
works great.  However I didn't want to expose it to the outside world
and needed to get to it while on the road. I run an ipchains firewall,
so my first solution was running horde/imp under apache/php3. Then I
installed SSL and stunnel and opened up the simap and ssmtp ports.  Now
I can access securely using regular old netscape messenger :-)

For plain ole POP3: cucipop
For IMAP & POP3   : imap-uw

I picked imap-uw because it also appears in the ports tree for *BSD.
The last advisory I saw on it was dated: 4-24-2000

The pop only daemons seem to be your best security bet for external
users and keep IMAP for internal use only.
