IMAP is what you say it is, but POP (the name "Post Office Protocol" should give you a hint as to what it's for) is for the asynchronous store-and-forward of email. Nothing else. BTW, running IMAP on your local box is a great way to achieve "MUA independence". For example, Evolution went haywire on me last week, but since my mail is "in IMAP", I could use Sylpheed. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
