Well, I needed a IMAP server and the imap-uw server really SUCKS. It's slow and the handling of large mailboxes (over 1000 messages) is bad (try using it with Netscape Messenger). I'm not using POP anymore and if you take the time to write some wrappers around cyrus's deliver program it's quite good. ciao lutz -- Lutz Albers, lutz@muc.de, pgp key available from <http://www.pgp.net>; Do not take life too seriously, you will never get out of it alive.
