Quick and dirty IMAP(-UW) server

Everybody (even me) is using dovecot nowadays, but for a quick and dirty config-free IMAP installation on my homenetwork with sendmail I still prefer IMAP-UW.
Since the source is getting harder to find everyday and may be lost forever in the near future, I linked the 3 (too big to attach) files you need to get a working IMAP/POP3 server on FreeBSD:
/usr/local/libexec/imapd
/usr/local/libexec/ipop3d
/usr/local/lib/libpam.so.5

chmod 744 /usr/local/libexec/ipop3d
chmod 744 /usr/local/libexec/imapd

vi /etc/inetd.conf
uncomment the relevant section(s)

chmod -R 600 /var/mail
chmod a+rwxt /var/mail

/etc/rc.d/inetd reload

5 minutes work, eternal bliss.
