Re: Which IMAP server to use
Thanks for the hint. I would much prefer to use a server that is secure.
Even as we speak, I am connected to my current IMAP from work. I'd rather
not be restricted to reading my private mail from home.
On the other hand, I like the fact that the UW IMAP uses the traditional
mailbox format. Cyrus doesn't do that, does it? Is there a way to access
cyrus' mail database with a POP server?
Thanks,
