Thanks for the response mikel What exactly do you mean by "IMAP replicates the entire mailbox contents each time you connect" ?? I must be understanding something different than you intended because as I read that, "replicate" implies the space used by mail on the server would double every time its read & obviously thats impossible. As I understand it the idea of IMAP is that mail stays on the server rather than being downloaded to a POP3 client, so its easy to access IMAP from any remote modern style GUI client. Four of the current email accounts reside on bryden.apana.org.au, plus one each on richardson.apana.org.au, gargoyle.apana.org.au, almplastic.com ..... a few webmail accounts too but as far as I know its not yet possible to retrieve those in anything but Outlook Express or regular browsers. ----- Original Message ----- From: mikel To: Doug Young Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sent: Saturday, December 16, 2000 7:19 AM Subject: Re: IMAP imap-uw is ok, and relatively easy to set up. Just rmemrber that IMAP replicates the entire mailbox contents each time you connect. On a side note do all of the email address end up on the same server?
