This procedure does not produce such aconfiguration for you. Choose the one you want to have on thestandard IMAP port, and add the other one manually later toyour dispatcher_mailbox_servers.cnf file. It is easier to choosethe MessageStore and manually add the native mail than vice versa.What do you want to use with this server [1]? 2RETURNEnter the maximum number of connections you want to support concurrentlyon your system.
