Thanks, I'll courier looks like it then :-) With exim I saw the debian docs for courier indicate that I set Exim up for maildir delivery - will the POP3 server pick the mail up correctly from the maildir then? also will the pop client (if not set to leave a copy on the server) kill the mail from the user's maildir, i.e. he won't see it with IMAP afterwards? is there a way to control this behaviour? Thanks :-) Eugene
