Dear all,
I'm testing the IMAP for suitability for our use, and have the following
questions:

I have tried it with Outlook Express, when I used POP3 to retreive mails at
the same time, emails get deleted when POP3 downloaded the mails, is this
correct?
When I delete the IMAP mails, it appears crossed on my PC, and it is still
there next time I start Outlook Express, even I have set the delete mail
option. Is this correct behaviour?
When IMAP actually delete the emails at the server?
When I synchronises IMAP folders, first only headers appears, not until I
click on the emails, the actual content is downloaded. So, I can't just do a
sync, and offline, can I?

What can I do if I want to do a full year backup service, that is, user can
retrieve emails a year ago?
Do I have to shutdown qmail when I performed the backup?
Next, is there a convinent way to monitor disk usage on e-smith?

Can you tell me what this command is? So I may further investigate.
