Hello, Currently I am using sendmail MTA. I heard that sendmail is not very secured. Do i need to switch to qmail before going for IMAP? Thanks, Naveen.

What you need is an IMAP server. You can leave your POP server on too if you wish. You can have both. > Could anyone suggest me some good documentation for converting POP3 > to IMAP.

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!?
