Hello,<BR>
<BR>
Will IMAP and POP3 operate properly when installed side-by-side on the<BR>
same server?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>

Why wouldn't they? The only issue might be if a "user" logged in via imap<BR>
and downloaded the list of headers, then the same "user" logged in via pop<BR>
and downloaded all unread messages, not leaving copies on the server, and<BR>
then the same "user" tried to read one of those messages via imap....they'll<BR>
get a message that the message no longer exists (how that's phrased is a<BR>
client-side issue).<BR>
<BR>
I run both imap and pop on my server, but generally discourage people from<BR>
using pop if they can possibly run an imap client.<BR>

My mail is stored in /var/spool/mail/username files. Does IMAP just access those? I've never done anything with IMAP. <BR>
If you have any tips on getting it running and configured that would be much appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>

Well, if you email me offline, I’d be happy to help. Not really a mailscanner thing. Email me at john@jolet.net.</SPAN></FONT>
