Actually, deleting messages is done immediately, and there is no one-second delay imposed by the IMAP server. The one-second delay is done when copying or appending messages. Is your client deleting the messages directly, or is it moving the messages into a seperate IMAP Trash folder? >> Also, accessing the IMAP with Squirrelmail is a fairly slow proposition >> - even when done on the little intranet here (100Mbit).

Agreed - there have been reports that suggest that Squirrelmail is slow with Binc. It's on the todo list. :) Andy -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen | http://www.andreas.hanssen.name/gpg Author of Binc IMAP | Nil desperandum
