[CLUE-Tech] IMAP vs POP

[William]

xinetd is more like a service connection forwarder, as opposed to something like courier-imap --
the program that xinetd would forward the connection to if it came in on an IMAP port.  I have no
idea which/whether an IMAP daemon comes packaged with NetBSD, so hunting down appropriate
documentation is difficult.  But, that's where you can start.  Do a Google search for IMAP daemons
and read their installation and/or configuration documentation.  That will tell you exactly what
you want to know (and probably more than you need).

Happy hunting!
