Could you be more specific about what problem you are seeing? We're using imap4 and ipop3d from UWash with *no* problems. In fact, we got a bunch of calls asking if something was wrong cause users checking their mail said it went *too fast* (so we were obviously not sending them all of their mail :) the day we switched over.

What reccomendations can any of you give me? Deliver mail for shell users to the shell machine?
