Thank you very much for that informative reply!
I have dl'ed your .dll and I'm gonna give that a shot.
I actually performed the upgrade yesterday but I havn't switched from the
registry to ODBC yet. One thing that I did notice was that 6.x uses about
8% - 10% more memory than 4.x did. I'm not even using web messaging, so I
think this has to do with SMTP and the expanded rules processing.
I have also noticed that IMAP4 is finally up to rev1 standards (YEA!)
I read the post about upgrading to 5 first, but I just couldn't wait. :c)
The only real issue that I encountered was that the MAXSIZE param actually
covers all folders now. That was a nice change, but it caught users by
surprise. They can no longer "hide" messages in other folders to get
around the size restrictions. This is a good thing.
Thanks again for the reply,
Chris Terrebonne
