imapd.conf(4)
NAME
  imapd.conf - IMAP configuration file

SYNOPSIS
  /etc/imapd.conf

DESCRIPTION
  The /etc/imapd.conf file is the configuration file for the IMAP server.  It
  defines local parameters for IMAP.

  Each line of the /etc/imapd.conf file has the form option: value where
  option is the name of the configuration option being set and value is the
  value that the configuration option is being set to.

  Blank lines and lines beginning with ``#'' are ignored.

  For Boolean options, the values ``yes'', ``on'', ``t'', and ``1'' turn the
  option on, the values ``no'', ``off'', ``f'', and ``0'' turn the option
  off.

Field Descriptions
  The following sections detail options that can be placed in the
  /etc/imapd.conf file, and show each option's default value.  Some options
  have no default value, these are listed with ``<no default>''.  Some
  options default to the empty string, these are listed with ``<none>''.

  configdirectory: <no default>
	    The pathname of the IMAP configuration directory.  This field is
	    required.

  defaultpartition: default
	    The partition name used by default for new mailboxes.

  partition-name: <no default>
	    The pathname of the partition name.	 At least one field, for the
	    partition named in the defaultpartition option, is required.  For
	    example, if the value of the defaultpartition option is default,
	    then the partition-default field is required.

  umask: 077
	    The umask value used by various IMAP programs.

  allowanonymouslogin: no
	    Permit logins by the user "anonymous" using any password.

  quotawarn: 90
	    The percent of quota utilization over which the server generates
	    warnings.

  timeout: 30
	    The length of the IMAP server's inactivity autologout timer, in
	    minutes.  The minimum value is 30, the default.

  admins: <none>
	    The list of userids with administrative rights.  Separate each
	    userid with a space.

	    Any account that receives mail via the IMAP server should not be
	    included in the list as an administrator account.  This could
	    cause problems.  For instance, this type of administrator would
	    be able to create top-level mailboxes that are visible to users,
	    but not writable by users.

  defaultacl: anyone lrs
	    The Access Control List (ACL) placed on a newly-created (non-
	    user) mailbox that does not have a parent mailbox.

  autocreatequota: 0
	    If nonzero, normal users may create their own IMAP accounts by
	    creating the mailbox INBOX.	 The user's quota is set to the value
	    if it is positive, otherwise the user has unlimited quota.

  logtimestamps: no
	    Include notations in the protocol telemetry logs indicating the
	    number of seconds since the last command or response.

  reject8bit: no
	    If enabled, the deliver command rejects messages with 8-bit
	    characters in their headers.  Otherwise, 8-bit characters are
	    changed to X.
