+Many of the tests in this directory require a mail server to be running, if there is no mail server the test will skip and warn, see skipif.inc for details.
+
+To make the tests run parameters in the skipif.inc and imap_include.inc file will need to be changed to match the local mailserver configuration. 
+
+
+The tests have been checked using dovecot (on Linux 32 and 64 bit systems) and hMailServer on Windows. The tests are intended to be mailserver agnostic.
+
+The tests can be run without modification with a fairly minimal dovecot installation. For information, the dovecot.conf file used in running the tests is given below (after -----). The dovecot password file (dovecotpass) requires a password for one user, webmaster@something.com. It's also necessary to set up one additional user ID (vmail) to own the mail directory.
