Dang.. Didn't finish what I wanted to say.. Sorry.. (smiling meekly) As I was saying.. I know this is a Stupid and probably get asked to 'RTFM' or "google" it up.. But since I don't have a I-Net conn right now This mail-list is the best I've got. So.. Question. Differences between pop3 & Imap. I'm running a pop3 server which fetches mail from my Corp Exchange acc into Linux using fetchmail. Then I'm getting my emails from the LInux server to my desktop using outlook. (yah.. I had to use M$ at work) The thing here is, it's pretty darn slow. Overnight, mails from this list gets to like 100+ and pulling it via pop3 will take like 1 hour! (for under 1 MB of mail!) I'm not sure what's slowing things up. (I used pop3 and pop3s.. both were the same) Hence, thinking maybe IMAP would help. Is IMAP the type where you could Browse & read emails from the server and _not_ DL it to the local machine? BUt if wanted, I could just Drag & Drop?? Maybe that would be quicker.
