Interesting, I will have to investigate how this can be accomplished. AFAIK PHP does not provide the functionality to maintain a persistent socket connection with an IMAP server after the script execution has completed. I would *love* to provide that if it is possible. Another issue I have is that my client uses its own functions to perform the IMAP communications because I have not been impressed with the built-in PHP functions. I have been pleasantly surprised with the performance even with the additional connect/disconnect overhead (even over ssl) but to keep the session active and update via status and select calls makes my mouth water :) I guess that goes on my to-do list right around how to eliminate the list "" * call (my client currently only supports a "flat" list of folders since there is only a folder list drop down box) thanks for the response \__ Jason Munro \___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] \____ http://hastymail.sourceforge.net/
