Mulberry uses the IMSP and ACAP Protocols, would it be blasphemous to ask if Courier does support this or if support is at least planned? It sounds like a good idea:
3.5 The IMSP and ACAP Protocols: Remote Preference and Address Book Storage One of the many benefits of IMAP is that it allows you to access all of your mail, stored on a remote server, from different locations and computers. For users that operate in this mode, it also makes sense to have other email-related information stored on a remote server. For example, having your mail client save its preferences on a remote server rather than on your local machine ensures that it will have the same settings no matter where you are. By saving your address books on a remote server, you can guarantee that the names, email addresses, and contact information typically stored in your address book will be available to you everywhere. The Internet Message Support Protocol (IMSP) is used to store preference and address book information on a remote server. If you store your preferences and address books on an IMSP server, those resources will always be available to you, no matter what computer you use to run Mulberry. This is particularly advantageous if you frequently use different computers to read your mail. Mulberry can be configured to use IMSP, if such a server is available. If it is not available, preferences and address books have to be stored locally on each computer used to run Mulberry. In addition to storing addresses on a remote server, IMSP allows address books to be searched on the server and shared among groups of users. Shared address books make it easy to set up a centralized address book for a group of individuals or a workgroup, and combined with server based searching, make it easy for co-workers to find addresses of other people in their group. The Application Configuration Access Protocol (ACAP) is an emerging, standardized replacement for the IMSP protocol. Like IMSP, ACAP allows for the storage and retrieval of information such as address books and preferences, but in a more efficient and reliable manner. Additionally, ACAP is designed to be a more general-purpose solution than IMSP; that is, non-mail applications such as web browsers can take advantage of ACAP for remote storage of information such as bookmarks or configuration options. -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Im Auftrag des Referat V A) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Charite Campus Virchow-Klinikum Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 Referat V A - Kommunikationsnetze - Fax. +49 (0)30-450 570-916 Eh? Linux is luserproof? What kind of "proper" set up is that, ripping out all removable media devices and ethernet, freezing the hard drive spindle, encasing it in concrete and dropping it off a pier? _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
