I know I am slow but I missed the relevance of the discussion about dovecot and imap. When you get cyrus-imapd you get servers of imapd and pop3d running. When you run dovecot you only get imapd servers. But dovecot is supposed to support pop3 also. Do you need both of these programs systems or is it an either or proposition? -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
