Outlook 2k crashes when told to use this server. :(

I haven't tried it much, really, because it doesn't support /var/spool/mail
and I don't see why I should convert to Maildirs.

I use qpopper, which is quite install & forget, but then, you might need
something more elaborate.

I've got to add a question of my own here:
Is there an imap server that can store mails and directories in a directory
and gets along with Outlook? (./configure --enable-endure-o2k)
As I said, I tried (UW) imap, which needs a '/' added to a dir name if
it should contain other dirs. Outlook doesn't know this, it seems, so
any recursive copying will fail.
Thanks
Christian
