Brian, IMail FLAGS provides a configuration bit to disable web access, but not a specific bit to diable POP3 access nor a specific bit to disable IMAP access. If you are running all of the Webmail, POP3, and IMAP demons, the only way to stop a user from using POP3 or IMAP is to disable the account or block access via a router filter.
Two issues I have complained about since 4.x are full FLAGS control of customer accessable services, disable user logon, AND don't accept mail for this user. The FLAGS disable user bit only disables logon. I would like to be able to disable a user logon and/or block incoming mail as separate bits. Thus currently, IMail design drives our customer service/billing policy rather than allowing us to decide it.

We has to set our server up in such a way that it had basically two IP's for email access. Web-based users checked their email from a site called webmail.richmond.com. However, we noticed a ton of people setting up accounts and then using the same address to POP through. As such, we started to charge for strictly POP access for our non-Isp based customers, and physically blocked POP access on the webmail address at the firewall level. When a user purchased access we would point them to another address on the same box to supply their POP Access. All of this is pretty darn confusing, I was curious if their was a way within IMail to simply suspend POP access to an account (e.g. FLAGS)? Or is this just a dumb question?
