MIME format is simply a few extra headers and optional boundary markers (over-simplification but essentially true). Of course uw-imap stores MIME messages in MIME format. They wouldn't be readable by a MIME capable MUA if it didn't. > messages in each folder. I have heard that native MIME message stores > really help in accomplishing this. Someone you have been talking to doesn't understand MIME. MIME addresses a lot of issues but storage efficiency isn't one of them unless you are refering to message/external-body. But that's a function of the sender's MUA, not the MTA or delivery agents like POP and IMAP. There's a list of RFC's for MIME at http://www.imc.org/rfcs.html#mime Dan -- Dan Busarow 714 443 4172 DPC Systems / Beach.Net dan@dpcsys.com Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82
