| 4 For most people, the usual: | |
| 5 | |
| 6 ./configure | |
| 7 make | |
| 8 sudo make install | |
| 9 | |
| 10 is enough. This installs Dovecot under /usr/local. You must also rename the | |
| 11 configuration file to get it to work: | |
| 12 | |
| 13 mv /usr/local/etc/dovecot-example.conf /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf | |
| 14 | |
| 15 Read through it, make needed modifications and start imap-master. | |
| 429 | 16 doc/configuration.txt tells you more about configuring Dovecot. |

| 19 SSL/TLS | |
| 20 ------- | |
| 21 | |
| 623 | 22 Dovecot supports both GNUTLS and OpenSSL. Dovecot prefers GNUTLS if it's |
| 23 found, but fallbacks to OpenSSL. If you wish to force using OpenSSL, give | |
| 24 --with-ssl=openssl to configure. | |
| 25 | |
| 26 For GNUTLS support you need version 0.5.5 or later. You can get GNUTLS from | |
| 27 http://www.gnutls.org/ | |
| 428 | 28 |
| 429 | 29 |
| 428 | 30 Optional configure options |
| 31 -------------------------- | |
| 32 | |
| 33 You can get a full list with: | |
| 34 | |
| 35 ./configure --help | |
| 36 | |
| 37 The options are listed like --with-thing or --enable-thing, usually they're | |
| 38 also enabled by default. You can disable them with --without-thing or | |
| 39 --disable-thing. | |
| 40 | |
| 41 Besides the standard options, Dovecot has added these: | |
| 42 | |
| 43 --enable-ipv6 Enable IPv6 support (default) | |
| 44 | |
| 45 Enable IPv6 support. By default it's enabled if system is detected to | |
| 46 support it. | |
| 47 | |
| 48 --with-file-offset-size=BITS | |
| 49 | |
| 50 Specifies if we use 32bit or 64bit file offsets. 64bit is default if system | |
| 51 supports it (Linux and Solaris does). You most likely won't have mails | |
| 52 larger than 2GB, so you may want to drop this to 32bit for a bit smaller | |
| 53 disk and memory usage. | |
