Greetings, Just a follow up...I've found a solution that will work with one minor caveat. I've decided to go with courier-imap using Maildirs. This keeps everything in the users' home directory. But how I made it work is instead of the remote offices connecting to the main office with SM, they will all run SM locally, thus avoiding the VPN. The small caveat is users will not simply be able to type webmail.ourdomain.com to get webmail. I've setup different hosts for each office. As an example: office1.ourdomain.com, office2.ourdomain.com, etc.At least this way, mail is being read of the LAN, which is many orders of magnitude faster than the VPN.
The other option was to hack uw-imap to put mail folders outside of their home directory, which was going to be an ugly hack. Thanks all for the help and info. :-) Regards, Chris Fischer On Thu, 2002-11-07 at 10:36, Chris Hilts wrote: > > Now, I understand Jonathan's point that SM is putting mail where the > > IMAP server says it should go, but it doesn't necessarily have to be > > that way. :-) An option similar to what Openwebmail uses would be nice > > (hint, hint).
