You can run both if you prefer. I run the POP3 for customers to get mail
external and I run the IMAP server for my webmail program. Or you can use
just IMAP for both. Imap seems to be a slower when used with external
mailers like Netscape, Outlook Express, etc. I do not believe you need the
Imap server for use with SqWebMail as you were looking to use. You would
only need it if you want to use another program. I still recommend the IMP
webmail. You can adjust the menu to include a link to the Qmailadmin as
well. SqWebMail definately needs a face lift and a few more options.
