IMAP is the Internet Message Access Protocol. Basically, it's a replacement for POP, if you're familiar with that. It's a way to retrieve mail from a server. So, if you have IMAP configured in inetd or xinetd, an instance will run for each access. Like any service, if you don't need it, you're best of with it uninstalled. -- Ed Marczak [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
