Well, performance is not a problem for me. As I already mentioned I'm just hosting a dozen of domains with only a couple of (low-use) mailboxes altogether.
Well that really doesn't make a difference, but nevermind !
Sure, but I like the option of quickly having a glance at them using "Mutt," in case something goes wrong etc. This way I can ssh in and remove offending mails, instead having to telnet to 110 and DELE it.
Well you could also set up webmail if you don't like to telnet. What do you count to "offending mails" ?
What exactly does the above do? I'm sorry but I don't quite get your point.
Well I thought you meant just for some hosts e. g. the mailserver host you would like to have local deliverage and for all others you would like to use cyrus.
I don't think not using mbox and rather using a better way is not a mistake. And I wouldn't also limit the decision of which POP3/IMAP-server to use just because a MUA can't handle the format of the server ...
This option I will only consider if there is NO OTHER WAY. I've once started to do that and I have very soon regretted that I did so, so I don't want to repeat that mistake again.
Those are just php scripts and a sql database creation script. You do not need to compile anything, etc. All it checks for is if you have webserver, php, etc installed.
