There is no room in the credential space for a domain, only a name/password pair, not a name/password/domain tuple. In addition, if you are using Netscape as your client, you'll find that there are constraints on the characters you can enter into the name field, so it's nearly impossible to portably implement a namespace escape by overloading the contents of the name field. > If you need it right now, I'd suggest UW-IMAP (especially with only 2 > users).

If you make this choice, don't make the IMAP4 prot accessible outside your firewall. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
