Hmm, one of mine just grew over 300m..

Man I wish I could do that. > Anyone have an opinion (on this board? no way!) ;-) about whether > courier-imap or cyrus-imap would be a better choice for me? Courier seems to be better.. Faster.. I have used both.. cyrus uses the mbox format and your back to using huge files again and the problems that go with it. My problem with maildir, is that pine doesn't work with it well. My inbox is fine, but it reverts back to mbox for the folders. I can't figure out if its something I did, or a pine problem.. > Any reason I should choose one over the other?

It doesn't matter, imap is imap as far as the mail reader is concerned.. Its a choice of Maildir to mbox really as far as the server. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
