\"dovecot\"<\/a>On Linux systems you can install Dovecot from packages. Appropriate packages supports also LDAP authentication, MySQL and so on. Unfortunatelly you probably would not find a newest versions, when you install in this manner. Eg. for today in Ubuntu packages you will find version 2.0.19-0ubuntu1, while on Dovecot page<\/a> version 2.1.7 is available. For this reason it is worth to compile and install software by yourself, even it is available in package.<\/p>\n

Below is my script, which I used to compilation of Dovecot server on Solaris 10 SPARC with SunStudio compiler.<\/p>\n
