There's basically a log window where you can watch the entire conversation occur. This doesn't help if you're trying to debug IMAP client problems, though. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

(admit that I didn't look into pkg-descr of every package) This sounds like a job for net/wireshark (formerly known as ethereal). It won't forward as you describe, but will sit and monitor what goes over the wire. You can have it only look at traffic to/from certain IP addresses, and/or on certain ports; it's very flexible. You could run it on any machine that the IMAP traffic passes through - your local desktop, the server, any machine (gateway?) in between.
