IMP leaves a lot to be desired. When the NT "security manager" at a
certain web comany whose stock is dropping fast decided that outgoing
ssh sessions were a security risk I was forced to use IMP to get my
reliable, non-Exchange email.
The link was very congested so it was incredibly slow. This wasn't
helped by IMP's big interface -- in particular the fact that it loads
EVERY mailbox in your mail directory into <SELECT> boxes. Look at
Jeff's suggestions.
(The postscript of my stoush with the security guy was that I ran a port
scan internally to find out which ports were still open and found that
ftp was still wide open! And did I get a phone call asking WTF I was
doing scanning ports? Course not -- security on NT is set-and-forget
right? Bwahahaha. Glad I'm not a shareholder.)
