I'm not entirely sure of what you're trying to do here. But if you just need IMAP functionality for some web interface, and want it to be fast and lock-safe, then there's another option: dbmail. It'll store mails in a mysql database for you (postgresql too, but it seems to be optimised for mysql). Shouldn't be any access issues, since dbmail's IMAP interface and its own client utilities do all the access. Chances are, if you're running web stuff, you'll be using mysql anyway. The only downside is that you lose direct access to the files, so running spamassassin on your spam folder becomes a lot harder, *if* you want to keep your spam folder in IMAP too, that is. Anyone have a script for processing remote IMAP folders with spamassassin, by the way? ;) -- Lee. Please do not CC replies directly to me.
