Hey just thought i would say my bit :)
I have courier-imap running here on a freebsd boxen... its got a frw
mail accounts of around 18,000 mails in at the mo. squirrel wont even
log me into the account.... over about 2,000 it seemed to give up on me,
the server IS configured correctly.
I use evolution and thunderbird for desktop clients
and for webmail the only client i have found that dont crap its self at
the large sized box is IlohaMail which loads the account perfect and
fast :-)
so maybe give that a try :)
just me bit :P
Bye!
Grant.
