Local IMAP server

[Jaak]

I've installed EasyPHP on my Windows machine, which does the job really
fine. Apache, PHP and MySQL easy going.

What are the possibilities for installing a local IMAP and POP server for
the same test/develop purposes?

Thanks for any information!

On Linux it's a dawdle. On Microsoft Windows? Jeez you people just don't get
the idea that Microsoft Windows is only good for desktops. IME the only
reliable, standards compliant mail server running natively on MSWin is
Ipswitch's Imail.

Go download a copy of a Linux distro somewhere. You'll (eventually) be glad
you did.

Its for my laptop and not for the server. Our server gladly is a linux and
that will stay like that.

The imap/pop and ftp server doesn't need to have security, mailbox
fetching/synchronising, or any other shit, it just has to accept connections
and handle the standard imap/pop/ftp protocol
