Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  okay, conflicts with imap-server now to conflict with all servers, too much sort everyone out
Comment by Tobias Kieslich (tobias) - Friday, 26 October 2007, 21:52 GMT
not every imap server conflicts with courier-mta because of the binary name, I wanted to leave that as flexible as possible to make it possible that 'some' IMAP servers can be installed side by side (they can never run side by side of cause)
