There's a hack at http://www.davideous.com/smtp-poplock. There may be more of those on the www.qmail.org homepage. > [2] If qmail isn't the way to go, what would you recommend?

While I wouldn't recommend other MTAs than qmail, personally I'm using Courier IMAP in conjunction with qmail to provide IMAP functionality. I don't know how well Courier IMAP works with virtual users, though. > [3] For people running webmail currently: Is IMAP really required? > Some of these packages say they can speak POP3 also, but how do they > handle mail folders and stuff?

IMAP isn't required for webmail, but in my opinion webmail is the kind of application that begs for IMAP functionality. IMP supports both POP3 and IMAP, but I don't think it can handle mail folders if you use POP3 format. (IMP might support folders stored in a MySQL database, but I haven't looked into that.) > [4] My friend is looking at Horde/IMP for the webmail program. I've > never used it. Has anyone out there?

I had to hack IMP and add an entry in the sudoers conf in order to use TMDA's tofmip, but once I had figured out what to do, the actual hack was in the order of a few lines of text. Horde/IMP may not be easy to install, though, as it requires quite a few Apache and PHP features that may not be available on your friend's server. - wolf - _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
