* This is the modus mailing list * Benjamin,
Yes, that makes sense to me, I think. ;-) I don't have the IMAP feature enabled on our ModusMail system at either the server level or the domain level. I didn't want to allow all of our users to store their mail on our server as this would likely end up consuming way too much disk space. So to enable IMAP on the WebMail, I'll have to enable IMAP on ModusMail (at either server or domain level) and either the customer can set their client software to use IMAP or POP3, correct? Doing so will allow WebMail to use IMAP folders and prevent the problems I'm bound to get complaints on with just the ability of POP3 in WebMail, correct? This will cause ModusMail WebMail to store all of the mail in the IMAP folder on the Main ModusMail server instead of on the WebMail server and on the ModusMail server, correct? (I have ModusMail on one server, ModusMail Web Server on another server). Sorry for being so dense, but I want to make sure I understand all of this. :-) Thanks!

Your modusmail isn't using any particular protocol, it allows access via one of those 2 protocols. If you have IMAP and POP access enabled, a user can check their mail with either one. The webmail is just a seperate client, and it can be set to access your server by either IMAP or POP3. Whichever setting you choose, it doesn't affect the end users ability to check their mailbox with whichever one they prefer. The only caveat is if your webmail uses POP3, and your users make folders, those folders are a webclient based feature, and not accessible outside of the webmail client. If your webmail is set for IMAP, then folders are created as IMAP folders, which are stored on the server, not the webmail client. I hope this sorta makes sense. > Does it matter if the ModusMail client (not WebMail) is not using IMAP? > > In other words, our ModusMail is currently using POP3 mailboxes on both > the WebMail portion and on the mail client portion.
