Dovecot on a Mac

IMAP/POP3 mail delivery server · Mail

Dovecot serves IMAP and POP3 and handles local mail delivery; the companion to Postfix and the same stack Apple Server's Mail service used. Install with Homebrew (brew install dovecot) or a Linux package; carry over the mailbox format (Maildir) and TLS certs, and connect any mail client. Works with the Mail Security tools here.

Run Dovecot with FrontierStack

Install or connect Dovecot; then check its status, ports and certificate from FrontierStack. The same screen links to firewall checks, Malware Audit and backups where they apply.

Run it from your Mac.

FrontierStack installs, monitors and secures services on this Mac and on linked servers.
