So I asked some really poorly thought out questions. So, ilohamail is a IMAP/POP protocol interface to the mail server (like dovecot which I also use). That being the case, then all these questions kind of fall into... "does dovecot support ...?" I've been using squirrelmail which has something of an IMAP support built into it, but I'm not sure it's that solid. I have problems with large mail folders (Multiple folders >1500 each) causing squirrelmail to fail. It's also a bit inconsistent with maildir locations, but that's minor. I don't believe it's pure IMAP in it's protocol. Courier's webmail isn't at all IMAP protocol. It's all file IO. My "ideal" webmail application would talk only in IMAP so it wouldn't care about server location, file locations, authentication models..... As an example, mail clients (thunderbird) doesn't really have anything to do for an IMAP server other than DNS, Username, Password. I don't have anything else to do in order from getting it working. I like that. You're initial response, while also being very forgiving, leads me in the direction that Ilohamail may be more IMAP specific than squirrelmail. Are you just teasing me? ;) -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GAT/CM$/CS>$/CC/IT$/M/S/O/U dpu s+:++ !a C++$>C+++$ UB+++>++++$L++++$*-- P+>++$ L+++(++++)$ E-(---) W+++>$ N(+) o?
