<p>Look for pam tools to make dovecot authenticate against ldap. Set dovecot to use system auth and then nsswitch to use ldap.</p>

It'd appear that the Dovecot people are wholly uninterested in<br>
supporting their software.<br>
<br>
Here's the situation: I have an LDAP server (which, incidentally, works<br>
just fine; ldapsearch will return results 100% of the time in less than<br>
0.20 seconds). I want to migrate the mail system to use it and the<br>
Kerberos system deployed alongside it. Dovecot, well, refuses to talk<br>
to it with the same parameters given to ldapsearch.<br>
<br>
Any recommendations for an IMAP server that:<br>
<br>
(a) doesn't require the use of Maildir or mbox (user mailboxes on<br>
this system average about 20 GB and several hundred thousand<br>
messages may be stored in a single IMAP folder)?<br>
(b) works with LDAP?<br>
(c) is well-supported by its upstream?<br>
