IMAP is a much improved mail delivery and organisation system. Dovecot is a modern and flexible IMAP server. The plan is to set up IMAP on OrganicDesign in order to have better control of our mail service, and as a service to offer clients by ensuring it's installation is included as part of Debian Post Install. Also, by having our mail folders centralised on our own server the data can be included in our weekly FS backups.
It should also be possible to directly authenticate mail users against the users table of a wiki.
