According to Gary Palmer: > Please don't use IMAP. It is a bloated ``designed by committee'' > protocol and looks like a nightmare to impliment in an efficient > (scalable) fashion. Makes me want to write my own protocol :( I haven't used any of those postoffice protocols. I just use Real Mailboxes(tm). Neither have I written any implementations of such protocols, si I really don't know much about it. But people I talk to tend to think that IMAP is the way to go. Now, I don't know, but if I remember correctly, the thing goes: It's works. It's secure. POP isn't. What do you suggest instead of IMAP, and what's wrong with it? /Mikael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
