I agree, but I don't see how you want me to use IMP *without* having a
userbase and IMAP server set up on some box to store the messages. I'd
rather keep the messages stored on the same box that IMP runs on,
without the need for a UNIX account for every website user I have.

If you could explain that to me, I would be very happy :)

Thanks for your replies,

Nico
