Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 server for Linux/UNIX-like systems. This means that it offers access to email that are stored on a remote server (it provides the server-side service while the client will have to connect using an Email client / MUA like thunderbird).

In order to send and receive email on a server, you still need a mail transfer agent (MTA) like postfix running on the server.

How do I configure dovecot to read the passwords from an SQL table?
