This means you're sol unless you delete mail from server if you use MDII
as your primary mail server. Of course YAM slows to a snails pace once
you have over 100 pieces of mail on the server, I'm told, 500 if you
have an 060, so that's not much better, though it does work. I never
have figured out how Ollie unsolves problems he previously solved in
new releases. Maybe solving one bug recreates another.
