Hmm... About the only mention that I see in the documentation regarding Outlook is in the imapd.conf(5) man page under the allowallsubscribe option and in the install-murder document, both of which are, AFAIK, totally irrelevant to this context. Wouldn't it be nice if there were an Outlook FAQ specifically targeted at using backends *other* than Exchange? Does such a thing exist (Cyrus or not) or shall I perform a checkout on the imapd CVS tree? ;-) -- Anthony Chavez http://anthonychavez.org/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
