I just read this part (and should have read everything before sending my previous reply, sorry about that): [2014-07-14 22:33:11 +0200] Florian Pritz:
Since I use dovecot for authentication local mail storage will also be available (simply remove or empty your ~/.forward file to use it) and can be accessed via IMAP or POP3 (default ports). Please note that currently it is not properly backed up if at all. If anyone actually wants to use it I'll set up the backups.
Also note that local storage is currently configured to use dovecot's mdbox storage format which is more efficient than maildir, but can't be read directly by software like mutt. You'll have to go through IMAP/POP3. I believe nobody currently uses local storage on gerolde so this shouldn't be a problem.
I did, though I don't mind fetching via IMAP instead of SSH+mbox. Cheers. -- Gaetan
