NAME
bincimap - IMAP server

SYNOPSIS
bincimap-up [options] -- <authenticator> bincimapd <maildepot> bincimap-up -- /var/qmail/bin/qmail-authuser bincimapd Maildir

DESCRIPTION
Binc IMAP is an IMAP server for Maildir type mailboxes. It is well known for being easy to install, use and maintain. Binc IMAP is invoked by sslserver in order to achieve TLS and/or StartTLS capabilities for the required confidentiality. Binc IMAP is unique because of its simple, yet powerful invocation pipeline. This simple system makes it easy to have Binc IMAP do exactly what you want. The invocation pipeline consists of the following parts:

bincimap-up
    Is a stub to start the IMAP session, configuring the service options, calling the authenticator, and finally invoking the bincimapd server.

qmail-authuser
    is the versatile PAM communicating with different user authentication backends and setting up the required USER envrionment variable. Other PAMs, like checkpassword.pl can be used instead.

bincimapd
    implements the IMAP interface to the user's <maildepot> by name which could be a Maildir++ or IMAPdir structured.
