(( Yes, naturally. But imap is hardly a big risk: and you can even (tho' not done often) run it alongside pop no-problem if you want to for whatever reason - e.g. during a pop->imap transition phase. You mentioned in reply to Fernando re access via webmail while away-from-base/pop machine(s): one of the main advantages of imap, of course, is that you can see the same complete set of mail folders across all of your configured devices - phone/tablet/laptop/desktop/&c; your email doesn't get fragmented across multiple devices unlike with pop; and you've still got webmail for (secure?) access from devices where you haven't setup imap/pop. Not assuming you don't know this, of course - kindof assume that you do. Fwiw, here use both pop & imap on different sets of accounts (mainly re dogfood reasons): but for main accts just ssh + mailx :) . )) akh -- -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
