Well, when I said "like" I meant that they had similar general goals in being an enterprise level mail system, and from my initial glance there appeared to be some extra stuff in there that now I cannot find any informatino on ;) >> Could you provide more information, or an example? > iPlanet does support an IMAP command 'PROXYAUTH'.

Can you start off issuing a PROXYAUTH command? [..] > Sorry, I got way off topic. My final point is in response to: >> How would you propose you login to the IMAP server then? ;) "login" is >> the default and is what is used for plain text logins. > ... there are other ways to login other than "login" ;) PROXYAUTH seems like an extension AFTER login, I don't really have the time to traul through Sun's documentation, and you seemed to have done more research in that area, so you might know if it is possible to issue it BEFORE a LOGIN. While I know there are various types of login methods, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, and LOGIN are just 3 off the top of my head. RFC3501 does mention that the AUTHENTICATE command does use SASL authentication mechanisms to the server. This would suggest that in theory it would be possible to use any SASL supported authentication mechanisms as long as the IMAP server supported it. -- Jonathan Angliss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: New Crystal Reports XI.
