Hi Paul, I already use the last_login field for stastisques but it can't tell me how many users are on Pop3 or Imap.
For me IMAP equals Nirvana (Webmail Horde/Imp) and Pop3 equals Pain (outlook) "Much Pain for 15 technicians not under my supervision". In a school bord with 5000 computers and 40,000 students and 4,000 teachers a Webmail is a no brainer its there and your get you mail from any where in the World. I think sometime my boss and others "are out of it or whatever" They have 15 technicians configuring outlook on hundres of computers just because people ask for it. So I want to track the use of POP3 and IMAP. I find that simple mysql queries is the way to go. I find that login to syslog...etc is to much of a overhead.
