Hello all,
This is just a suggestion, but I was wondering if you all have attempted to
use IMAP instead of POP as the preferred connection method? I was hesitant
to do this as well, since all of our users use POP here on center, but it
is actually extremely easy to setup both on the same machine. Currently we
have a single machine which acts as the IMP interface which then goes out
and gets mail from all of our other servers. If you are worried about
users being able to connect via IMAP instead of POP, you can replace inetd
with xinetd and then using its rules you can limit IMAP access on your POP
servers to only the server with IMP on it. If you then simply set the
option to create folders to "false" in the IMP config, IMAP access will now
act exactly the same as POP access via IMP. There is a simple option to
change in the imap src which will then force imapd to only operate on the
/var/mail/spool mail file instead of creating a separate mbox file in each
users directory. If you were using IMAP to begin with please disregard this
suggestion, but if not, might I suggest you try this, as we have been using
IMP 3.1 with Horde 2.1 and UW IMAP 2001a for several months (with Netscape
4.7 on the VAST majority of user machines) with ZERO issues.

instead of the one in the<br>
code but I get the same issue. Any more ideas?<br><br>
