If an attacker is in possesion of mail server it doesn't matter if it's IMAP or POP. He will still be able to read your new email. IMAP is just a protocol to get email from the server. It is no more or less secure than POP. Using POP3 and thinking that you are somehow more secure is completely ridicilous idea. If you need a security encrypt your email base (be it local or on the server). Most of the modern email server can do that. -- Best regards, Vilius ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.1.2.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
