Thanks Daniel
I'm not overly familiar with all the differences of the imail features. I
really only need my customers to have access to web mail and regular mail
(Outlook, Netscape Communicator, eudora and the like).
I'm pretty sure my customers don't use the other features. So I turned off
both IMAP4 and LDAP this afternoon so for 5 1/2 hours no one has missed it.
We'll see how the next few days go.
Again, thanks
Michael
