Yes, but they'll still support 32on64, no? > First of all, there is one catch IMHO worth mentioning in readme: If you > are using x64 Windows, the registry settings must be placed in > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GNU\XMail, not in > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\XMail (due to 32-to-64 WoW registry > redirection).

Sources are available and compilers too so..." Thing is, a 64bit binary will use a lot more memory than a 32bit one, mainly because all pointers are double the size. If an application does not need a VM space bigger than 2GB (and XMail doesn't, unless you're handling yahoo.com with a singel machine), it's better off using a 32bit binary. I will try to look into building a 64bit eventually ... - Davide _______________________________________________ xmail mailing list [email protected] http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
