Oh, that's something I forgot to mention - Courier-IMAP only does Maildir. At least to my knowledge, the default password/pam modules for Courier-IMAP will look in ~/Maildir/ (maybe it can even pick more up from PAM) for the mailboxes. POP3 and IMAP use the exact same configuration, so if one finds it, the other will. IMAP will use "Maildir+" folders inside the Maildir, which obviously won't be available directly via POP3. I'm sure minor module hacking could do it, maybe there're already examples. As for POP3, the server doesn't enforce deletion, it'll do whatever the POP3 client tells it to. Most probably don't set the "Leave mail on server" button, you may have to explain to your users to do so. I'd recommend moving over to a virtual user system (ie, no real user account on the machine). In that case, userdb, or whatever, can specify where exactly the Maildir will be, and things like that. Or use LDAP, or the myriad other options (vpopmail, &c.). Neil -- Neil Blakey-Milner [EMAIL PROTECTED]
