A colleague asked me if it was possible for Dovecot to store messages in the cloud. I have not heard of it being done and therefore assume it is not possible, but I thought I would ask regardless. I tried checking on the ?One Drive? forum; however, I have not received any response back yet. Thanks! -- Jerry

From a user perspective, I would say that Dovecot, or any other IMAP server, already stores messages ?in the cloud?. They are on a remote server, accessible from any location by any device that has a functional IMAP client. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
