From Wikked

Tilia's IMAP and POP3 services are in the process of being migrated to Dovecot.

Configuration

Protocols

We only support IMAP over SSL/TLS:

protocols = imaps

Mail location

System users have their Maildirs in their home directory; virtual users don't. Only support system users for now:

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

Mail extra groups

The Ubuntu default configuration has group mail added by default; this is not needed in our configuration.

#mail_extra_groups = mail

Mail processes

Show more verbose process titles (in ps). Currently shows user name and IP address. Useful for seeing who are actually using the IMAP processes (eg. shared mailboxes or if same uid is used for multiple accounts).

verbose_proctitle = yes

Set max. process size in megabytes. Most of the memory goes to mmap()ing files, so it shouldn't harm much even if this limit is set pretty high.

mail_process_size = 512
