Reason #2 to like Debian
Courier-IMAP is nice, but a bit over-engineered for what I want. Dovecot is nice and simple, and doesn’t insist in having all the other email folders under the inbox, which is nice. The main reason I’m switching over is security. It supports TLS by default. The thing I like about Debian is the ease of finding howtos on the net. I googled for “dovecot +install +etch +howto” and this page was the first hit. A complete idiots guide that even I got it right first time and had everything up and running in 15 minutes.
