I would classify IMAP servers as to how they handle your mail. Some like UW uses, I believe, mbox format. Cyrus uses its own format, and I believe can convert mbox format to its own. If you currently run Maildir format type mail, there are two that come to mind, Bincimap and Courier.. -- Gary _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
