Well, I don't know how many people "very few" is, but I do know, that as an alternative to MS-Exchange, IMAP server storage is finding more and more use amoung my clients and clients of those I network with.
Many companies are requiring their servers configured in a way to capture ALL outgoing mail and record it for posterity, security, snooping or whatever, and on any given day this counts for 1000's of messages. I don't see this problem going away, but expanding - with more and more people and companies adopting thin clients, wireless terminals, roaming profiles and access, the desktop content has to be kept light. It is just more economical to store on the server. But, all this aside, the process of constantly rebuilding though reliable does seem to be extra work - admittedly, we don't want to give up things we have and may not even be aware we are advantaging, but does that mean we shouldn't strive for the ideal? I thought that's always been one of the beauty's of open source. I never did see anyone comment on the idea I threw out - couldn't an ascending unique identifier list be automatically created by simply reading the index position or inode from the directory itself? Not sure what the requirements are or how dumb the idea is... Anyways - back to real work - been interesting batting this around, but like one of you said, we are going to bore people if it isn't moved to another list ;-) thanks. m/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
