Bingo. To add to that, create folders via IMAP and move a message to it. Then go try to find the message in the web interface. Google Apps is OK for POP3 but the IMAP support is downright odd. It does not correspond with what people (specifically me and numerous others who use IMAP on a regular basis) expect from an IMAP server. We've used Exchange, Cyrus IMAP on CentOS, UW-IMAP on Debian, etc. -- Phil Brutsche [email protected] ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
