Why if I may ask? Do you want to create another POP3 like server?
No, at all. For now, I just have no room for the user's folders in the filesystem where reside their 'home' directory. But, anyway, I would like to offer them the imap service.
Meanwhile, is your question suggesting that there are no differences, with respect to behavior and performance, using the pop3 service or the imap service without the folders creation feature?
I thank you for your reply and I'm looking forward for your considerations.
If the users can only have their INBOX on imap but not any other folders what do they gain from this change. Nothing in my opinion, they still have to move mails to folders on their local harddisk to sort them or whatever. So then I'd say you could stay with pop3.
PS: As I've set the "reply-to" to the list I don't want to be CC'd. TIA
