*nod* thats what I was thinking, I was just hoping that it was already 
obscured due to pop vs imap, but that was my ignorance about the 
php-imap functions.  Well, this is on my list, its just a matter of 
where i can get it on my coders lists.  The library in sqwebmail relies 
upon the rest of sqwebmail to compile, and I am not a c/c++ programmer.
