smtp-auth isn't absolutely necessary if they can relay thru the service provider's smtp server, although i like to be able to store their sent items. pop-leave-mail-on-server would probably work, although i have a gut feeling that it would result in more problems than a 100% imap solution. plus it wouldn't provide access to folders other than the inbox. thanks for the feedback - jason -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
