I'm presuming you're talking about horde-imp. (seems like there's a truckload of horde packages in portage) Horde is, from my limited viewpoint, on looking at it's website, seems to be mainly a web-based email client. I don't like web-based clients too much. Prefer something like Evo(which I need for exchange connection functionality.

I don't understand, or perhaps you don't understand how plus addressing works? With Cyrus+postfix(and sendmail) plus address is just like INBOX --fedora --gentoo --gentoo-server --misc then I have an email [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] and mails will miraculously appear sorted in each respective folder without any need for me to do any filters on the client side. (though it will add headache for the user, me, to rememeber all of those emails. Imagine if I have/am subscribed to 100 mail lists etc. The only pre-requisite that's needed is for the folder in question be 1. Be all in lower-case (this is due to either postfix/cyrus limitation in case sensitive-ness) 2. have the "anyone p" flag > I generally stick to the bulletin > boards for things like spam dropboxes, user announcements, tech notes for > users, etc... BUlletion boards? You mean shared folders? (Haven't played with that yet. Will be looked at) -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
