I'm at something of a crossroads moment right now as it relates to webmail, so this thread is well timed. I *was* gonna simply install Squirrelmail since I know it and use it elsewhere. Now perhaps is the time to look at an alternative. I'd welcome your IMP installation notes! I *gather* (not in front of a FreeBSD box at this moment) that IMP is *not* in ports, otherwise (surely) installation wouldn't be *that* complex? Configging maybe, but install-wise ports 'apps just; "slide right in there" - usually :-) /me is keenly anticipating install notes!! Thanks for that Ted! Regards, -Colin
